Sortakinda. What happened from what I was told is that said idiot failed
to plea bargain. It's only going to hurt him.

I no longer work for said employer. Said employer refused to cooperate
by providing the prosecuter with my personal information, said cell
phone. And that, of course, I approved of. <g>

Said personnel manager panicked this morning when the powers that be
threatened to subpoena my old employment records (which they actually
did do, but not until after I found out about it and called them).

She finally called and left a voice mail and fortunately I actually
checked my cell during my morning break...

I called the contact number before and negotiated with him. I finally
agreed to an e-mail subpoena after contacting my main lab manager and
finding out I had the benefits to cover the day off, and I'd not be
penalized for it.

Sometimes this stuff can be a major pain in the ass when you are a
newbie.

What was really amusing to me is that this evidently all started over a
week ago and I've always provided my personal information, on request,
to the arresting officer including the damned cell phone number. All
they had to do was consult their own records and not bother my old
employer.<G>

The officer I talked to this morning even commented that all he had to
to was run the DL number to find out where I lived... but the cell
number (the house number is next to useless anymore due to constant
spamming and no voice mail) would still not have been provided. Nor
e-mails.

Major cluster**** if you ask me... ;-)

And he still had his license?

He does not live in Texas... <g>

I'll be fine. I'll just cooperate more with the prosecution!

I'll reveal more later when all is said and done.
Trust me that this moron really needs some serious jail time, and I'm
usually very forgiving.
