Federal Criminal


This morning when I was getting ready for work, I was startled by a loud knock at our door. In my experience, a phone call or knock on the door at 6 in the morning is never a good thing. When I answered the door, I was greeted by two U.S. Marshals. I assumed they wanted to ask us something about our neighbors since there's been problems with them in the past...then they asked to talk with Ryan. My stomach just dropped and my mind started racing wondering what kind of trouble Ryan could've gotten in to. 


When Ryan finally came into the room, they said they wanted to talk to him about a case of identity theft. Apparently, the son of a federal judges' identity had been stolen and Ryan was a suspect in the case. They had a whole file on him - including where he worked, lived (obviously), and even a picture of him. Apparently Ryan's phone number was linked to the case. 

To give you some background, Ryan's phone number was issued to him by Intel when he started working there. Since he received the phone, he's recieved numerous calls and texts from all kinds of people including porn sites and car dealerships. 

The Marshals questioned him as to when he got the phone and soon realized that the guy who had the phone before Ryan was who they were actually looking for. 

As much as we don't like being bothered at 6 in the morning, Ryan and I are pretty pleased by this little occurance. Although Ryan being taken away in handcuff's would've made a great picture for our blog, I'm relieved to hear my husband isn't a federal criminal! ;-)

Now the real question...if he had gotten arrested would you have bailed him out or let me stay there for a day??? Personally I think it would have been a fun experience to stay there for a little while...

Sorry, should have said let "him" stay there...not "me"

Wow! That would have scared the crap out of me!

My stomach back flipped reading that post. I would be FREAKING OUT! I'm so glad that had a happy ending. That was a "nail biter".

Hey my name is Kim Muir (previously Weathers). You probably don't remember me, but I went to BYU-I and was good friends with Ryan. We actually were really good friends all through high school. I found your blog through my friend Rachel Becker (who was also good friends with Ryan in high school).

Anyway, thought I would say hi and it looks like you guys are doing great. That is really cool about the whole US Marshals coming to your door. How scary and exciting at the same time!
