WENTWORTH, N.C. (AP) — A man who'd just been released from jail in northern North Carolina was arrested again for refusing to leave the jail after authorities wouldn't give him a ride to a motel.

The News & Record of Greensboro reports (http://bit.ly/OZm7NK) that 37-year-old Rodney Dwayne Valentine was charged with trespassing.

Valentine was released from the Rockingham County jail Saturday morning after being behind bars since May 22. The sheriff's office says he asked them to drive him to a local motel and they refused. Deputies charged Valentine with second-degree trespassing when he had refused to leave the jail by Saturday afternoon.

He's being held on $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 9. It was not clear if he has a lawyer.

He should have told them he was on his way to the Hotel to get some crack.. they would have volunteered to give him a ride.

this is a first, even though i have been told some people break the law right after being released because they don't know any other way to live.
i would bet money NC doesn't have county jail work gang's like Georgia has. i just moved here in May, and Wisconsin doesn't have road gangs either.

Excuse me?
He demands a "Ride to a Motel" after being in JAIL?

Sounds more like he's 'comfortable' in the Jail ..
No rent .. no bills .. food each day .. health care is free .. and he doesn't have to lift a finger at all ..

(Jail was never meant to be a lifestyle (which some seem to become accustomed to))
