Turns out, this guy had been laying really low and the cops couldn't find him to serve him and his son a warrant for drug trafficking (meth).  He was arrested less than 10 minutes later.Word got around (and I'm sure the cop had something to do with this) that people were being arrested for having late fees.  My collection quotas jumped dramatically.</blockquote>
