Have you ever made a citizens arrest?

Just wondering if I am the only one who has.

I used to be a bouncer at an Athens bar several years ago. My associates had to escort a drunk as hell frat boy out. This bar was right across APD on Washington Street and a bike cop was posted up right outside our bar. Drunk guy kept inserting himself into our doorway and cop just stood there. I walked out and tried to be very nice and reason with the guy to just walk on before he got arrested or worse. Guy was still holding a beer bottle and I looked at the cop who was literally 3 feet away and asked for his assistance. Cop actually said "he's your problem, not mine."

I said "right now, he seems to be both of our problem. " Cop told him to get rid of the beer as it was illegal to have on the sidewalk. Drunk guy steps to me and pours his beer out on my shoes. Got to hand it to him....it was a solid frick you to me. Bold.

I looked at the cop and he just shrugged. I turned back and leg swept that fricker like Gracie and grappled his drunk arse into a knot. Got him on his belly and straddled his back. Looked up at the cop and said "cuffs." Cop casually took his cuffs and tossed them at me. I cuffed his arse and said "you sir....are being placed under citizens arrest."

Cop just said "That was some very good work" while he helped him to his feet and escorted him up the street. Looking back, I think that cop was laying low just to see what would happen. I think he was entertained. Not even sure if he took him to jail or let him go somewhere up the block with a few words of wisdom.
