Small Town Misfit

Goleta Valley, CA
Claiming his eyes had been “bleached by the sun on a recent trip to Jordan,” a young man tried to convince an Isla Vista bartender the photo on his identification card was, indeed, him. In an attempt to prove his point, the subject flagged down a nearby patrolling deputy. It was apparent to the deputy as well that the photo on the card was not the same person as the cardholder. In fact, the deputy pointed out, the eye color recorded on the card did not match. After a lengthy debate, the subject, 19, admitted his guilt.

After his arrest for providing false information to an officer, the officer asked: “Why?”
In response, the regretful, underage subject resident replied simply, “I’m a fool.”
