Bump because I have a story. It doesn't have a ton to do with the police, but they play an important role in it.
So back in high school my friends and I would take this shortcut through this big field (like 1.5 miles) to get to one of our houses after XC practices and school. We did this all throughout Freshman year and most of Sophomore year without any issue, but one day we were running through the field and some dick started yelling at us and got in a combine/tractor thing and chased us through the field.
Now usually, we would be able to outrun said tractor, but the thing about this field was that there was a Quonset hut on the side we were running to. So the guy in the tractor must've told the person in the Quonset hut that he was chasing us because someone then came out of there and cornered us. He took a picture of us so there was no point in continuing to run.
Anyways, we were getting yelled at by these two guys for like an hour, and at the end, one of them called the school and got us suspended for 10 days and kicked off the XC team for two races. Looking back on this, we should've just stopped taking this shortcut then, but being a bunch of pubescent chads, we decided to keep messing with them.
One of the things we did to him was have one of us go up to his front door in the middle of the night and knock on his door. Then we would have someone sitting in the bushes with a BB gun and when he opened his door we would open fire on him. We did this once a month for a while, but he stopped coming to the door after a while, so we had to come up with a new plan. So then we would just shoot his bedroom window every 30 minutes or so, just to wake him up and piss him off because we were idiots.
We were doing that one time and it turns out he decided to call the cops on us. We saw two cop cars coming down his driveway, and instead of running, we decided to just sit in the bushes longer. The cops went into his house and talked with the guy, then the cops left. But it turns out that one of the cops stayed behind and waited for us. The cop walked around the house to where we were hiding, and shined his flashlight right at us, and told us to stand up and put our hands behind our head.
The cop led us into the house and lectured us with the owner for a very long time. Miraculously, the guy said that he wasn't going to press charges, but the cop said that if we are ever seen on the property again we would be sent to a juvenile detention center (we already had some stuff on our records). The cop led us outside and put us into his car. He yelled at us for like 30 more minutes before saying that he wasn't going to arrest us, just because he didn't care very much. He drove us into town and let us out. Then we had to walk to my friend's house that we were "sleeping over" at, which was like 8 miles away, and the fastest way there was through the guy's field.
So guess what we did! Yep, we went through the guy's field after all this. Luckily we didn't get caught.
If we were at all smart we would've stopped using that shortcut at all then, but we kept doing it. We got caught one last time about two months later, but the guy didn't call the police. Instead, he pulled a hunting rifle on us and told us to get into his house. We obliged and he yelled at us at gunpoint for at least an hour. He threatened to kill us all, and legally he could've because we were on his property, and technically we had been armed on his property before (BB gun). He put us all in his truck bed and made us tell him our addresses. He dropped us all off at my friend's house and told his parents what happened, and then my friend's parents yelled at us. They told everyone else's parents about everything, and my friends and I were not allowed to see each other for 3 months.
For our senior prank, we took some gasoline and burnt a penis into his field in the middle of the night. we weren't caught.
