...In College, I once had custody of a garbage can full OF BOOZE!!!!
I was the Student Social Director, and was producing a Rock Concert. I met with one of the Police Chiefs, to plan security, since the Event would be open to the Public. I had a map of the area. and had placed red crosses where I thought an Officer should be stationed. The Chief made some changes, and I agreed. I signed the retainer check, and handed it to him.
...The Chief showed up as the Band was setting up, and he led me through the area, and introduced me to his Officers. He told them, "She is in charge...don't let her fuck up." I just smiled...
He then left.
...All of the audience had to get through the police to get in. The police were confiscating any alcohol, since this was on a College Campus. They would just place the bottles into a garbage can...it got VERY FULL!!!! I was walking around most of the time, tending to problems, but a few times the police asked me to watch over the booze. I didn't drink at that time in my life, I was focused on my studies, and even one drink hurt my ability to play the cello, or the piano.
...I was standing by the barrel of booze when the Bands Manager came by. He was a very scary guy...a 'no-neck' Hispanic male, with a lot of tattoos. I handed him the final check for the concert, he smiled at me, and looked into the barrel. He asked..."What is that?" I told him that it was booze that we had confiscated. He grinned at me, rummaged through the bottles, pulled out a couple of 5ths, and left.
...The Chief arrived at the end of the Concert, and asked me how it had gone. I told him that there were no problems, and that his Officers had kept everyone calm. I than asked about the barrel of booze..."What are you going to do with this?" He grinned and said, "We will DESTROY it."
,,,My roommates weren't happy with me, when I told them about it. They said, "You should have CALLED us!!! We could have snuck it away...and partied EVERY Saturday night!!!!"
...I am sure that the Chief and his Officers DESTROYED the safe bottles of booze.
