So as I am walking into work one day with my sis, I am approached by two guys in suits. One I know and the other I have no clue who he is. They ask me to come with them for a quick chat. Ok, sure why not.
Into a little office we go. They sit me down with my back against a desk the the sit in front of me one by each of my knees. They tell me that I am in there to be interviewed regarding Felony Over familiarity or some shit. WTF? I don't commit felonies so I have no idea what they are talking about but I an instantly scared. I have never been interviewed for an investigation before and I have never been in trouble a day in my life. I ask for my Union Steward. I don't get one. The begin to question me about random crap. Thinking back, I don't even remember hearing them, I was in such a haze, it was so surreal. I asked for my union steward again. Didn't get one. They search my purse and ID holder. In my ID holder is a paper with Brian's social, dob, and school id number. I used it to check on his graduation status and forgot to throw it away.
They ask me who's info it is. I tell them it is that of my clerk. They question me more about him. I deny everything in the beginning. They keep asking, I keep denying. Then the kicker comes. If you tell us, there is a chance you could save ur job. Wow really? Sounds hard to believe but shit, so many others have been caught doing worse and got a pay cut, or put in the mail room so it is possible. So I talk. Anyone who knows me knows I crack under pressure, especially if I am alone in a room with 2 officers, pinned against a desk being questioned, and terrified. I ask for my union steward one more time. They let me call, she isn't there. I panic. I admit to having a relationship with him, I admit to having sex with him, I admit to loving him. Their response....you can't help who you fall in love with, the heart wants what the heart wants. Bullshit! They take me to Business Services to sign papers and wait. I call my sister to come up front so I can get her car keys so I can leave. She starts freaking out cuz they wont let her talk to me. One walks me to the car and he searches it. He walks away as I get in. I hear the yard go down. My heart breaks. Brian is not going to know what hit him. He has been write up free for like 10 years and now they are coming to get him. They took all of my clerks to the hole I found out later that night. I don't think I have ever cried that hard in my life.
The next couple of days I spent crying. I couldn't function at all, I woke up, got in the shower and would vomit for hours. Poor Taryn, her mom had disappeared. My mom had to come a take her for a week cuz I couldn't function. All I could do was cry and puke. People turned their back on me. I expected it. It still hurt. I mourned. I cried for the loss of my future, my house, my car, my money, my daughters future, the man that I loved, my family, my friends. I mourned. I it was all gone and I didn't know how to recover.
It took me a month to get up the nerve to go to my Dad. He was gonna slap me, I could feel it. "Tina" he was gonna say, "How could you be so fucking stupid" *slap* I knew it was coming. He walked outside, gave me a hug, told me he loved me, and asked what I was gonna do for a job now. I was speechless. We never talked about it again. Until recently.
A few months later I am on my way to Parker for a night out and I get pulled over. The officer runs my ID and then asks me to get out of the car. That was a first. He informs me that I have a warrant out for my arrest but it not extraditable so he isn't gonna arrest me. Um, dude....are you sure you have thr right Holley cuz I have never even been arrested. Yup...it was me all right. He sed it was for some sort of sex crime. WTF!!!!
I turned myself into the court the following week. The charge was: An officer or employee of detention engaging in a sex act with a CONSENTING adult. WTF?! Let me tell you..the DA had it in for me BAD!! He was pushing for 5 years in state prison even though he cuda let me walk with probation and a fine. Asshole! I had never in my life heard of anyone being prosecuted for this. What about all the women that get walked in on bent over their desk? What about the CO's that get caught with Parolees? I wasn't an officer, sworn to uphold the law so why was I getting harsher treatment than them? SO.....2 years later and lots of wasted tax payer money..I took a deal. I now have 4 felonies, 3 years probation, and 1200 in fines. Did they really think they were making an example outta me? Did they really think charging me was gonna stop anyone else? It didn't and it won't. What it did do is tarnish me and any future endeavours. Assholes! I can go to school and work in the medical field like I had been planning cuz I can't get bonded. :(
I'm not blaming CDC for what happened. I knew what I was doing, I didn't know it was a crime though. I wouldn't go back and change anything I did that day though. My life is exactly where it is supposed to be. I will rise again. I will get back all that I lost. I'm a fighter. I'm a Holley!
