Don't Get Arrested On St. Patrick's Day

While you are out celebrating St. Patrick's Day, try to stay out of trouble and not get arrested.

When you are out celebrating St Patrick's Day, it's easy to get caught up in the moment. One minute you're having a good time and the next minute you're being thrown in the back of a police car.

You don't want to end up spending the weekend in the Winnebago County Jail. All your friends and family will see your picture on Rockford Mugshots. What will the neighbor think if they saw your name on Rockford Scanner? Plus, I don't think your boss would appreciate Whitney Martin doing a story about your drunken stupidity on the news

Chicago had their big St Patrick's Day celebration last weekend. Of course, many people got out of control with several getting arrested or hurt.

According to the police blotter on CWBChicago.com, here are some of the dumb things people did after partying to hard.

"1:45PM — The 19th police district runs out of available police officers to handle 911 calls outside of the Wrigleyville bar strip. Calls for service stack up in a backlog that will not be cleared for seven hours. The 19th district stretches from Fullerton to Lawrence and from the Chicago River to Lake Michigan."

"1:48PM — A 911 call taker reports that she has a female on phone moaning and saying she’s in Chicago, and giving the numbers to an address. It sounds like she’s in pain. She did flush the toilet a couple of times.”

"6:20PM — Sergeant requests a paddy wagon to Clark and Eddy. But *not* to transport an arrestee. We need ‘em to take a city sign into the station so these people don’t use it as a projectile.”
