When I was in college and working construction, I worked with a few less savory characters. One guy who was steady on the job but had addiction issues (According to my boss, crack). He was high/drunk once and lost a bar fight. He was angry enough about it that he threw a molotov cocktail at the winner's porch, and went to prison for a few months, followed by either probation or parole, and he came back to work with us.

Part of the conditions of his release was that he had to stay clean.

Week 1: His parole officer didn't test him
Week 2: His parole officer didn't test him.
Week 3: Failed urine test. Back to prison. Never saw him again.


Another guy was just a blue-collar young guy who worked construction during the day and did club security at night. He got pulled over for 100 mph in a 55 mph zone in downtown Wichita, on the US 400 bridge over the river. So, charged with reckless driving. Whatever his bail was, it wasn't enough to make him face the music because he came back to work for 1 day to tell us what happened and that he was going to flee the state. Never saw him again.
