Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?
Sure no problem officer.
Yes sir it is.

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.
