Kid is arrested at a friend’s apartment on 4/20. They question him, say he’s free to go and even offer him a ride home. He accepts, but instead of taking him home they bring him to the DEA office and stick him in a holding cell. He’s in there for 5 days without food or water, has to drink his own pee, eats meth he found on the floor (???), tries to kill himself and ends up in intensive care for 3 days.
I don’t even know what to make of this yet, it’s so crazy I almost have a hard time believing it. If it happened the way this kid is describing, this is absolutely sickening.
Wow that was horrible, I hope he sues and swims in a pool of money like Scrooge McDuck. Allot of detail was left out of the story, no one deserves to be treated like that though.
In before HoustonGuy says, “well if he wasn’t smoking weed and breaking the law, he wouldn’t have gotten arrested!”. Or, “they were perfectly justified in doing what they did. I mean he COULD have been a terrorist, the dispatcher MAY have said so. We just need to wait for all the facts to come out”. LMAO

Haha, the agent probably meant to call his parents, forgot and clocked out. The incoming shift most likely thought he was just another dipshit.
Whoops! Poor kid.[/quote]
LOL @ “whoops, we ACCIDENTALLY tossed you in a dungeon for nearly a week and made you drink your own piss to survive thus ruining any chances at you ever having a good night’s sleep without therapy…our bad.”

^^To be fare, this is a true statement.
What a messed up story. The dude should sue and win. Whoever is responsible for him being “forgotten” in his cell should be fired.
Definitely feel bad for that guy though. When I saw it was San Diego I was 100% sure it was going to be from SDSU lol. Didn’t expect UCSD.

Well fortunately the police have “higher” standards, which of course means that they, at worst, will get fired for doing what would land an ordinary person in prison for years.
Am I the only one who INSTANTLY got suspicious when the kid and his lawyer claim he ingested meth FOUND IN THE CELL?
Leaving the kid in a cell for 5 days is inexcusable and heads should roll, but methinks there was more to his arrest than just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. To wit: I’ve never heard of the DEA raiding a college party. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but read between the lines.

Your silly AC, he was probably just cutting himself cause he was looking for attention.

I’m in like a 10,000 student university that’s like an hour from anything significant. The town brings in State Liquor Control, Dept. of Firearms and Tobacco, and state troopers for St. Patty’s Day, and another planned party students set up on facebook last spring. Doesn’t sound too far fetched.

Yeah, that’s why I put (???). I also read that they seized 18,000 ecstasy tabs, which is obviously not a recreational amount of drugs. Could be the kid was just at the wrong place, wrong time and they really did forget him. If that’s the case, I hope he gets his millions. I want to hear more first though.

Pretty sick sense of humor you’ve got to laugh at something like that.

Hello, cops are bad mmmmkay? There is only one side to a story and it involves eating meth off a DEA cell floor for survival.

Bringing LE in to control possible unrest at known, planned events is one thing. A DEA raid is quite another.
