Have any Es ever been arrested
Fri, 05/05/2006 - 10:59Several years ago in Austin, Texas I went to an outdoor musical festival with my cousin an his friends he introduced me to. I broke away from my cousin and his group to grab a bite. After I finished I stood near a water fountain with a policeman maybe three feet to the side of me and then the seizure kicked in. I can remember the cop saying, "He's had to much to drink." As I came completely out of my seizure I found myself in the back of a police car and luckily my cousin with me. The police began to apologize and I told them there was no need to. I explained to the cops they were doing their job and that know if I was drunk or high.
I did point out that I had a Medic Alert Bracelet. Luckily my cousin had seen me have a seizure prior to the music festival so he knew that I made an odd moan sound during the seizure. How he heard that sound I will never know.

I'm a punk rock lover till the very end!!! =) I guess fast music could be detrimental to my health...who knew? At least my hair isn't blue. =) Neptune: I think everyone within 20 feet of the bar saw my head hit it before they could react. Everyone saw/heard it. (always the center of attention somehow). =) S.
