MaTt ThE cRiMiNaL....

So Saturday night Matt and I dropped the kids off at my mom's house in Provo. The kids are still a little sick so we promised we would not be long. We just wanted to get a bite to eat alone! We headed to Chili's and arrived to see the parking lot full. So we went on to our next place of choice, Red Robin. That was even worse. It was only 5:30 in the evening we thought we were so smart getting out there early. We forgot we are in Provo and everyone else who has little kids had the same idea. So onto TGIF's we went. Now going on 6pm we were at a stoplight at University and University in Provo. The light turned green and we get pulled over???? So we stop and the officer tells us that our light over our plates is flickering on and off and that is the only reason he stopped us. He took Matt's I.D. and our registration and you know. Tells us he will be right back and we will be on our way. So about 10 min. passes and then a back up car arrives. They come up the Matt tell him to step out of the vehicle and proceed to pat him down and handcuff him. WhAt!!!! I am freaking out. I call my Mom. I don't know what else to do. The other officer that had just arrived tells me that Matt has a warrant out for his arrest. I swear to them that they are wrong. They have the wrong guy. He tells me to sit tight and they will see. So about 30 min. goes by. Matt is handcuffed in the back of the squad car. I am my car sick to my stomach. They finally let him go. The warrant is for destruction of a communication device out of Davis County from 2004. We didn't even live here. The warrant had no description of what the guy looked like. Just all of Matt's info. So they let him go because they could not prove it was him. So we got to go. Oh, and the officer touches the light over our plates and some dirt falls off. The light works just fine. It was just dirty. Sweet! We are now so sick to our stomachs but still decide to go eat since that is what we wanted to do. We got back to my mom's around 8:30 or so. So much for being quick. Now we have to try and get this all cleared up and so far has not been easy. No one in Davis County seems to know what to do. Matt just keeps getting passed around between the D.A. and the justice court. So pretty fun huh!
