The Sarah Saga (Cont'd)

I cannot give you a coherent narrative of what happened because Sarah didn't give us one. Her story was manic, disjointed and rambling.

Mikey spent most of the visit in the front yard trimming the weeping mulberry trees because he can't stand to be around her, but when he'd come in to cool off and get a drink, I'd flee to the garage for a smoke because I can't stand to be around her either. So we each got a version of the story and, after she left, we compared notes and found that a few critical pieces of info were missing.

Anyway, here's what we got, as best as I can tell it:

Remember Shane? Kayla's daddy? The guy Sarah was arrested with the first time, when they borrowed somebody's truck and drove it down to Mexico and sold it? The guy who kept showing up on Bob and Sarah's doorstep no matter where they moved? The guy who "kidnapped" and "raped" Sarah after she married Bob? Well, it's all his fault.

When Sarah was here in April, she'd told us that she and Shane had got back together, but he'd "beat the shit" out of her and was no longer in the picture. Which is strange because his most recent arrest record shows a domestic assault & battery charge on June 10. Anyway, she says he's pissed that she filed charges against him so he set this whole thing up as revenge. Which is strange, because she's the one who called the cops on herself.

So she and her co-arrestee, Patty, were in Sarah's car, being chased by two men (one she knew slightly; the other she didn't know at all) in separate cars and they were throwing beer bottles at her car. So she called the cops. Then she and Patty were taken to the police station in the back of a police car and after they get out, a cop reached in and found 29 grams of meth stuffed down Patty's side of the seat. Patty immediately pointed the finger at Sarah, saying, "It's hers."

Sarah and Patty were both charged with drug trafficking, and she also said something about paraphernalia charges that were dropped. The two men who were chasing them were arrested as well, but I don't know their names so I don't know what they're charged with.

And there was a third woman involved somehow, because Sarah complained that this woman had only spent one hour in jail and was released. She is apparently Shane's new hide and they are now on the run together.

Sarah, on the other hand, spent several weeks in jail and swears up and down that she kept her mouth shut, but now she's been labeled a snitch and people are trying to kill her. She can't go to her condo anymore so she's living with the old guy out at Blanchard again. But she says Shane is the one who's a snitch and she knows that "for a fact" because she's been to the DEA office with him. And now she's had a gun held to her head and somebody drove up alongside her car and pointed a gun at her (I'm not clear on whether this was two separate incidents or just one), so she's scared shitless because Shane's connected with the Mexican Mafia in south OKC.

She says the other three (Patty and the two guys who were chasing them) all go to court on the same date, but her court date is a week later, so she's convinced that they all plan to plea bargain in exchange for testimony against her. She, however, was planning to beat them to the punch by going to the DA Monday (the next day) and spilling her guts so she could disappear into the witness protection program and take her kids with her. Because she doesn't belong in prison, you see.

Umm... I think that's it. Does it make as much sense to you as it did to me? None at all? Yeah, me neither. My eyeballs are still spinning in my head.
