What would be the less shameful reason why you would have to be detained overnight?

    Just fucking own it and do better. Downplaying it means not only do people still think badly of you, but now they know you also don’t take responsibility for your own actions and instead lie about them.

    You also don’t have to be specific about what happened, only that you are actively improving yourself and what steps you are taking to do so.

    Edit: You are taking steps to actively improve yourself, right?

      Agreed. If it really is for a stupid reason like OP said, then this feels like a simple “I was an idiot, got caught, and ended up having a rude (but necessary) awakening. Thankfully that’s all it was, and now I know not to do it again. It’s time for some changes.”

    Least shameful would probably be drunk tank. Anyone who drinks has overdone it at some point, some people were just unlucky and happened to be noticed by an officer

    Do you not have people in your life who understand that the police lock people up for bullshit all the time? Why would they assume you deserved it? You need less ignorant people in your life (don’t we all)

    Most honorable? Just tell them you made a stupid mistake. You don’t need to share the details. Will they talk? Sure. But you don’t need to share if you don’t want to.

    Least shameful? You were mistaken for someone else who made a stupid mistake and didn’t have your ID on you. They let you go when they realized you weren’t who they thought.
