Given her choices, the bank teller decided option two sounded best and hit the panic button.
The night before he was pulled over for doing 135mph on his motorcycle through a 45mph construction zone. This made the cop angry for some reason and he took Ryan to jail. Nothing a little bail money couldn’t fix along with calls to his lawyer and 95 of his cop friends. Turns out the officer didn’t use safety lights while pursuing at high speed through construction which is a big no-no. He also screwed up the date and time when he wrote the ticket, so it’s as good as tossed. This is fortunate, because all though Ryan is strong, I imagine he would find it difficult hauling his two ton DJ trailer by hand.
Yesterday, he went to his bank to see the manager for the fourth time. Ryan had spent much energy and creativity in to getting approved for a second mortgage. The bank finally gave him the green light, providing him a check card with access to $90,000. He excitedly took the card to his debtors, so he could pay off all his bills, only to find the card invalid and that the account “did not exist”. The bank manager assured him he would fix it and personally call him back, but never did. So Ryan went to the back to the bank hot and in full “GO” mode.
The bank teller girl would not give him access to the account and would not let him see the manager. This sent him in to a red fury of shouting and profanity. The other patrons of the bank suddenly remembered they had prior commitments elsewhere and left. So when he offered to leave in handcuffs, the teller girl saw it as the perfect solution to her problem.
The cops were on the scene in minutes. She pointed Ryan out and they slammed the cuffs on him instantly. This didn’t help Ryan’s mood much: “You have no idea what a mistake you are making. You better take these fucking cuffs off right now!” One of the officers warned him they could discuss it back at the police station. Ryan agreed: “Please take me to jail! You’ll lose your jobs and have a lawsuit like you’ve never seen! Taking me to jail is the best thing that could happen to me! Do it!” Coming from anyone else that would be an empty littleman threat, but Ryan actually has the connections to pull that off. The cops didn’t know this, but when Ryan is “on” he can be very persuasive and it gave them cause for pause.
Ryan explained to them why he was so angry. “All I want is my money. I’m not here for anyone else’s money, just my money, and they will not give me my money. What would you do in my position?” The cops asked the bank manger if this were true. The manager stammered: “Uh..well..we have been having some problems with his account…”

The cops released Ryan immediately and apologized. One of them angrily asked who hit the panic button. Ryan pointed to the future ex-bank teller.
Of course I wasn’t there for any of this but most of it probably happened. At any rate, the summer is still young so I will start saving for his next bail now.
