Apparently, bro got picked up in his bosses’ truck, and the boss had outstanding warrants. So, bro doesn’t have pay for today, or money to stay at the hostel tonight. To add insult to injury, his pack was in the car when it was impounded, and his pack taken (when he was asked…he said nothing in the car was his, because he thought the office was referring to the beer in the car, and didn’t want to go back on what’s he said for fear of pissing off the cop. Now, if he wants to get the bag with his phone charger, toiletries, and 4 sets of clothes, he has to go to the jail, fill out forms, get his boss to sign it, and get it notarized.
Meanwhile he came by here to get fresh clothes from his stores, and chat for a bit. I gave him enough money for another night at the hostel. I feel that he was telling me the truth. If it were for something illicit, he’d have asked for more money.
So. That trouble is over with, for now.
