“I was like 18 or 19. Driving home from my buddies house it was about 2 a.m and pull up on what looked like a guy laying in the middle of the road.

I stopped and about that time like 15 police cars and an ambulance pulls up. I just sit there wondering if I could go around or something.

A fireman came up to my door and said that the guy was dead and it was a murder scene and I would probably have to find another route home. For some reason he thought I was someone else (it was a small town and I look like the guy he thought I was ) so he pulled some strings with the cops and let me go around the body and go home.”
