Later, another officer came to my car with the empty bag that they
managed to find on the highway.  They asked me where the rest of it was 
and I said I didn't know. It was his stuff and not mine.  The next 
thing I saw was they were tearing my car apart, seat by seat was taken 
out of my car along with everything else.  It was all put on the 
shoulder of the highway.  It was a nightmare and while they were 
emptying out my car, more police cars came.  I was surrounded by a lot 
of police cars with their flashing lights.  It was amazing and so 
scary.  It was just like you would see in the movies. 

As time went on, the police officers put my car back together and told
me I was free to go.  They told me they would deal with that guy I 
picked up.  I waited patiently in the back seat of the police officers 
car until it was time for me to leave and I was still crying, shaking 
and scared to death.  The other guy was in another police officer's car 
being questioned I assumed.  I was asked if I still wanted to drive 
this guy home if he should be released without charge, and of course I 
said “no”.  I got out of the police officer's car.  I was free to go 
and the police officer told me to drive home safely.  I got into my car 
and drove away and all I could see in my rear view mirror were amazing 
police cars everywhere with their flashing lights. I kept on driving 
and driving until I finally got home.  It was 4:00 in the morning. I've 
never been so happy to be home, safe and sound.  I thanked God for 
watching over me with this awful situation that I managed to get myself 
into! 

I did regret what I'd done, but it was a “lesson learned” by me that's
for sure!  I've never done this kind of thing again.  I'm hoping that 
no one else ever gets themselves into a situation like this as it's not 
worth it!
