“I was working as a bartender at the time and had just gotten off work. I decided to drive through Downtown Fredrick, which was a terrible idea considering it was midnight on a Thursday. I was driving down Market Street when I saw flashing red and blue lights come on behind me. I pulled over and waited as a male cop proceeded to my window. He asked me to step out of the car since there was a strong smell of alcohol on me. I tried to explain that I had just spent the day pouring liquor, but he wasn't having it and demanded I do a field sobriety test. Before I knew it, the sidewalk was full of cops. That's when I decided it was a good time to make a joke, which only one cop thought was funny. I passed my field sobriety test with flying colors but had to stand with the rest of the cops for a minute as paperwork was filed. That's when Danny and I hit it off. However, being the professional he is, he didn't ask me for my number or even my name for that matter! So I really thought that was the end of that. But I was wrong. He coincidentally showed up to the bar I worked at the next night and we've been inseparable ever since. We're expecting our first baby girl in August and can't wait to tell her the story of how daddy almost falsely arrested mommy.”
