Sugarland Blues

[Tyber.Zann]

Unlike many of my fellow inmates here in Sugarland I admit I did it, and then again, I didn't.

A barroom brawl on Houston resulted in me being charged with drunk and disorderly, assault and battery, and resisting arrest. No one was seriously injured and the resisting arrest consisted of no more than a clumsy attempt to escape through a tiny bathroom window. Normally I would've received a fine and a stern warning from the judge. Not so for me, as I'd a previous conviction for artifact smuggling in Liberty and also happened to be the number two man in the Junkers Congress at the time. The latter was what "sealed the deal" as they say. What did the prosecutor call me? "Public menace, vermin, scumbag". So here I sit doing a six month bid for my crimes against the good people of Liberty. No worries. I did the crime, I do the time. At least that part's true.
