Yep. Back in 74 possession of weed -
Yep. I was 17, and I along with some friends pranked a neighbor and she called the cops. I was in for 2 hours. Does that count?

Nope...but I was once locked in a holding cell with a drug dealer during a power failure.-
How did you get into that pickle, Madame X?

That's an interesting story!
and no.. never been arrested -
It's not quite as interesting as it sounds--I used to be a criminal defense lawyer. This was during my first year or two of practice, when I was in my mid-twenties, and I'd gone into the jail to meet with a client. They didn't have a visitors room available and gave me the option of meeting with him in the holding cell or rescheduling. Just a few minutes into the meeting, the power went out--and the cell doors were electric. The moment it went dark (and it was entirely dark), my client said, "Aww...now I can't see your pretty face anymore!" There was a Sheriff's deputy sticking VERY close to the door until they overrode the system and let me out.

3 times. -
Once. Moved into a new apartment with a room mate. There was a credit card in the mail for the previous tenants. He activated it and used it while we were at the mall together. He tried spend too much on it and got busted, while I was holding three bag fulls of CD's and books he'd bought with it.
Five days in a holding cell, all charges dropped because I had no idea he wasn't using his own card. Scary as hell, but in retrospect it was kind of interesting meeting a room full of drug dealers, thieves, and even a convicted murderer. -
I've never been arrested but I work in a booking station. The fun never stops. -
No, Never been in a jail, except for touring Alcatraz. -
Being arrested is nothing to be proud of.
Not that I have been arrested before.

Nothing to do with being proud...
I did have a narrow escape in college...big dealer on dorm floor...narc enrolled and moved onto floor..dealer busted...I learned later that my name ended up on a watch list at the Illinois Bureau of Investigation and the college, somehow I manged to keep my nose clean and my ass out of stir.... -
No, but I've had German police check my passport more than once. I used to hitchhike in my younger days.
Also, kind of a funny story: I was stuck in a friend's apartment in Munich waiting for my suitcase to finally arrive from the airline. When I finally got it and was able to go out for a walk, the police picked me up and drove me to a store and had a lady look at me from a distance. Fortunately, she didn't think I was the guy, which I wasn't. Apparently the flannel shirt I had on was unusual in that context, and I had had the bad luck to be wearing one just like the guy who had robbed (or shoplifted?) the store. -
Arrested, no.
Detained, yes. Most recently while flying to and returning from Atlanta with my (then pre-teen) daughter.
My guess is that I fit the description of someone, or possibly fit a profile. -
I should have been a policeman Im always helping them with their enquiries -
No, thanks. I'm a parole officer and I spend all day with people who have been arrested. A great deterrent. -
Yep. Possession of weed. -
No. Because I am a Good Cat. And I heard prisons for cats are very overcrowded and violent!
