Arrested Development

I went to play at the WinStar Casino last weekend, the big one right on the Oklahoma-Texas I-35 border.
They were gettin' me pretty good, and I decided to take a break to go outside and talk to Missy.
I was kind of wandering around an empty part of the parking lot as we were talking, when all of a sudden a police car flew up and turned on its lights. The officer got out of the car and said, "I need you to hang up the phone."
I told Missy, "Honey, it looks like I'm getting arrested. I'll call you back."
The officer then said, "Do you have any weapons on you? Please put your arms out."
I'm not sure why he asked me about the weapons, because he patted me down even after I said no.
He then informed me that there was a kidnapping suspect on foot in the area. I waited about five minutes while he ran my ID, then let me go when it came back clean.
After my name was cleared, I tried to report to the officer that the poker players inside the casino were robbing me, but that didn't gain much sympathy either.
