Mr. Mattingly clammed up after I got the cuffs on him. To show my appreciation, I continued to let my coworkers think he was a doctor. We drove him back to the Nineteenth, where I left him in a cell while I processed his arrest. It took me about thirty minutes to finish the whole job. With a suspended-license offense, also known as a five-eleven for its traffic-law code, the only evidence to voucher was the license itself. I had to send it to the DMV, but it went out via department mail, so I didn’t even have to find a stamp.

My MSU mates had already gone back out on patrol, so when I was done, I approached the Nineteenth desk sergeant for his approval on my paperwork. “I just finished my guy,” I said. “Can I get your signature?”

“The five-eleven guy? Yeah, sure,” said the sergeant, reaching out for my handwritten complaint report.

He flipped the report to the back side without reading it. “When I was a cop, I used to bring in five-elevens all the time,” he said while signing his name. “So easy.”

Handing me back the report, he said, “Your boss said the guy’s a doctor, though. That’s brutal, kid.”

I shrugged.

“Yeah, a collar’s a collar,” he said.
