* Reckless driving--11/14/79
* Disorderly conduct--5/22/80
* Reckless driving--7/29/81
Having McGarity as a next-door neighbor has provided one comical moment. After he filed a bogus lawsuit against me, I wound up representing myself and conducted a deposition of him. I asked about his criminal record and was curious about his two disorderly conduct convictions.
That is a broad charge--just ask famed Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates--that can apply to all kinds of offenses. In conducting research, I've seen it applied to everything from someone screaming at another person in public to soliciting gay sex in a men's room.
My research showed that McGarity's second disorderly-conduct conviction was for urinating in public. But I wasn't able to find the nature of the first charge. So I asked him. And his reply?
"I don't remember."
I'm not making this up, folks. The guy has been arrested so many times that he doesn't remember what they all were for! And he winds up as our next-door neighbor!
