#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

She filed for divorce, I think on her 10th anniversary while I was in jail, which I had that coming. I had destroyed that poor woman's life, you know. They end up, my dealer, old man Stanton, Comes and bonds me out because I had spent so much with him. He's convinced I'm going to continue to.

Somehow they mixed up paperwork in jail and they let me out when they hadn't brought all the charges on the other case against me. And so I bonded out of jail and immediately had a felony warrant. for the first traffic stop. Apparently they only booked me in on the second one and forgot to add the first one. So they add those on and put out a felony warrant for me. And so I go on the run.

#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

I moved into a trap house with some guys I had literally just met that night. in South Memphis. What's the trap house? The trap house is a house where narcotics and women are bought and sold. It's, you know, a trap. It's a spot. It is the single source of every bit of pain and suffering in any neighborhood they exist in. It's hell. That's what it is. It's hell. I had nowhere else to go.

I had a warrant. I couldn't go home. My wife didn't want anything to do with me. I had no idea what my kids knew or didn't know because, like I said, we'd hidden all of this from them. Daddy getting arrested is going to... I don't even know how to have that conversation with them. I'd go into hiding, basically.

This dope boy that obviously all the dope boys in South Memphis knew how much money I'd been spending, and they all wanted to know me. So I was welcomed with open arms out there. And the one that ran Melrose Street I'll actually say his name because he's dead now, Rodney Cotton. He used to go by the name Fat Boy or Hot Rod.

He kind of took me in because he was convinced I was going to teach him how to run businesses. I don't know what he had in mind, but basically put me to work in security at a trap house out there. which was odd because I'm the only white guy in the hood and I'm deciding who can and cannot get into the trap. This went on for a few weeks. What did you see inside the trap houses?

Everything you can imagine. What does that mean? I've witnessed murder. I've witnessed attempted rapes. I've witnessed overdoses. Um... I've witnessed people do unimaginable things that even with my background experience can't wrap my mind around for a hit of dope. Crack in particular. Like what? You won't want to hear it if I tell you.
