My brush with the law

Thirty years ago, when I was an 18 year old high school senior, I was arrested for breaking and entering. Two 17 year old friends of mine climbed up a fire escape to go through an open window to get into a college dorm where he'd heard there was a party, despite my screaming at them that they were going to get in trouble. A security guard heard this and decided they were burglars and I was the lookout. No theft was intended, the only crime was stupidity. As the only one over 18, only I was charged. The prosecutor who got the case agreed that it was bogus and the whole thing was later expunged from the record, but I had to go before a judge.
Neverthess, it is possible that somewhere, there exists a notebook with my name in it, ready to be found should I ever decide to enter politics.
