Arthur accused 3 the sting operation
Arthur once again is accused of something he didn't do. He was at home when a crime took place. A sting operation for people with outstanding warrents will soon take place. Like other sting operations they made it seem like they won a contest as in prizes. But they are police officers. Arthur isn't the only innocent person there. But also a few others who are background characters. The one who really did it is a boy named Mitch. Binky and them have nothing to do with it at all.
"I will get the mail mom," said Arthur, "I am in the living room now anyway."
"You sure can honey," said Mrs. Read, "If anything for you and it is important tell me or your dad."
"Well a letter from Adil," said Arthur, "And a letter from the comunity center for me."
"Read that one to me," said Mrs. Read, "Because it might be important."
"I sure will mom," said Arthur, "It must be important like you said."
Arthur did read it to her. They believe he won a drawing or raffle if you will at the community center. He has no idea it is a sting operation. That he is being framed by Mitch. Arthur has no idea he will get arrested not get the prize that was in the letter. It is a sting operation not a raffle. In his letter it says he won a bionic bunny limited edition action figure. Arthur is a big fan of bionic bunny. It is like a dream come true. Not sure it is a bad day for him. Arthur went there with his mom.
"Hi sir i am Arthur Read," said Arthur, "To get that bionic bunny action figure that i won."
"Good sign this," said the man, "Right that way is your prize."
"Thank you sir," said Arthur, "Here is your pen back."
"Thank you," said the man, "Just that way."
"I will after i pee," said Arthur, "Before i get my prize."
They let him use it. After that he washed his hands. He went in that room cheering. He saw police there and put cuffs on him. He was given the rights said to him. He is surprised, angry, shocked, and wanting to talk even though he was given the right not to talk he is anyway. He didn't do anything at all. He was at home having dinner. That iswhat he is saying. He is angry at them for tricking him that he won a prize. But it was a sting and he is an innocent 8 year old boy.
"I was at home at that time," said Arthur, "I was having dinner with my family."
"Just doing our jobs," said a policeman, "That is why we are arresting you."
"I am just a kid," said Arthur, "Not some little person."
"A kid did it," said the policeman, "We will take you to juvie and a bond will be set."
"I say let him go," said another policeman, "He is telling the truth i can tell."
He refused to do that. So that other policeman will be a witness for the defense. He knows Arthur well. He knows he was at dinner at that time because he went to their door to talk with them for he is a friend of the Read family. So he is talking to the police chief to realease Arthur or at least reduce the bond set. Mrs. Read followed them after seeing it. Arthur isat the police station now. She saw her friend there. And came with her family. They are talking to him right now.
"Let my son go," said Mrs. Read, "He was at home with us."
"He sure was," said Mr. Read, "It must have been someone else."
"They are right sir," said the good policeman, "I came to visit my friends the Read family i saw Arthur there."
"Yes let me go," said Arthur, "Them other police officers tricked me that i won a toy and arrested me."
"That was a sting," said the bad policeman, "We seen stings like this before."
The chief of police reduced the bond to $10. The bad policeman wanted it to be $1000. The judge of that case will throw the case out and let Arthur go free. And that he knows who did it. See what happens in the next chapter of this story.
