The Incident

I won't make this blog post too long because I know everyone has heard the story at least once, but my brother is in fact....a criminal. Not really. But he did get a ticket for disorderly conduct. A very serious offense...Here is how the events played out that cold wintry night:

Josh, after a grueling 5 hour shift, decided to go to straight to temple square with his friends and cause mischief.

On his way home, his friend Miranda received a phone call from her parents telling her that their neighbors were very upset with something Josh's friend Cole had done. Cole, I'm sure acting on an impulsive decision, had decided to use the restroom before they left Miranda's house for temple square. Except the restroom he used was the street, right in front of Miranda's neighbors' home. Needless to say, the lady that lived in the house was quite upset, but apparently she had recorded Cole in the act which is weird and kinda gross. When she told her husband what had occurred, he started to lose his mind. Miranda's parents called to warn them this guy was furious.

So when they got back to Miranda's house they made a mad dash to get insider her house. Later on when they were leaving, the man came storming out of his house and cornered Josh's friend Cole putting a flashlight into his face and yelling very rude things at him. Josh, being the heroic individual that he is, went running to Cole's rescue. Unfortunately, this turned the man's anger onto Josh. As the man walked back towards his house he yelled something along the lines

"You don't know anything about me!"

to which Josh replied, "You don't know anything about us."

Josh then describes the man's face going from zero to pissed in 0.5 seconds and he came running over to Josh and yelled

"Well I'm gonna find out where you live and burn your house down with your family inside."

Josh started to walk away but responded with "PSYCHO." Which in fact the man was, but probably not the best thing to shout at him. As Josh was getting into his car, the man came over and kicked the door shut onto Josh's leg. When Josh stood up to defend himself, he was then pinned between his car and his door. Josh's friends then called the cops.

At this point let me remind you that this is a grown man. A grown man assaulted my little brother. The cops showed up, and the man ran out to talk to them before anyone else could. (Very classy) And the cops asked for my dad to come. So as I'm driving home from a friend's close to 1 in the morning, I drive passed my dad pulling out of the neighborhood. Josh was given a ticket for disorderly conduct, but after his court date, his charges were dropped. I'm glad my little brother is ok, but I'm also glad he has the honor of being the first family "criminal" and not me haha.
