Thread Name: Dylan picked up for street walking (Aug 2009)
Subject: RE: Dylan picked up for street walking
Well, let's see here. Dylan takes a walk and stops to look at a house for sale. A lady sees a stranger peering through windows in her neighborhood in the middle of the night and calls the cops. The NJ cops respond just as promptly to the call in her poor neighborhood as the Mass cops did to the call in Professor Gates' rich neighborhood. Dylan and the cops are civil to one another. His story is that he is an international superstar on walkabout but doesn't have ID on him. This story might sound a wee bit hinky to the cops, but they take him back to the tour bus or hotel or whatever to get his ID. Turns out he is just who he says he is. Everyone says goodnight and goes about their business.

Personally I think it's wildly funny that the young cops didn't recognize Dylan and made him cough up some ID, but otherwise it's not much of a story.
