During Fake Patty's Day, 2012 the Riley County Police Department (RCPD) made 90 arrests. In 2011 the RCPD responded to more then 766 calls. The trend for crime is down over the past three years during this unique Manhattan, KS event but it's still important to be careful during this all day bender.
This includes staying out of handcuffs as much avoiding cons by your fellow Fake Patty's Day attendee. After last year's Fake Patty's event the Manhattan law office was contacted by a young man who had received an Minor in Possession (MIP) during the Fake Patty's Day celebration. This individual was one of several in his group who was issued a similar citation. Unfortunately one of the members of this group claimed her father was an attorney and convinced many of them to give her the tickets and $100.00 and her father would be sure to take care of it.
Three months later, the client receives notice of drivers license suspension for failure to appear in Manhattan, KS Municipal Court for his MIP. Needless to say the MIP had not been taken care of and he was now in a much worse situation than before with just an MIP.
Luckily we were able to fix this Fake Patty's Day mishap and help our client obtain a satisfactory outcome, however, the person claiming to have the attorney father has never been identified so be wary of anyone who might claim the same.
