#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

This time they do take me to jail. And they hit me with, I don't even remember how many counts, It was absurd, like just wild. Possession with intent to manufacture, sell, and distribute for crack cocaine, for heroin. Sixth possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

All in all, there were like 14 felony counts that they had gotten me on, which is ridiculous, like if I'm actually being honest, because I didn't commit a felony. I wasn't selling drugs. There is no dangerous felony. Whatever. I had drugs and guns. I'm not supposed to do that, I know. But I think my life's over at this point. They took me to jail, obviously. I had to call Erin, obviously.

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.

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.
