  It sounds like you had quite a traumatic experience, and have presented it most memorably in this poem. Had something a little similar happen 47 years ago. While returning home from grocery shopping our car was pulled over by a police officer. Husband, wife and 2 very small children in the back seat, mystified. We were told a tail light was out. Cop checked my husband's ID and radioed in to find that someone with the identical name was wanted for armed robbery and possession of stolen goods. A trip to the station for my husband, while I drove home, 2 crying kids looking out the back window, mystified. After 2 hours of waiting and checking at the station, it was determined that they had the wrong guy, and the officer kindly drove my husband home. A different time, a different place. Hope all is well with you!
