When a police officers tells you to do something, the best thing to do is listen. Avoiding them ignoring their requests will only get you in more trouble... or tased!

Shut That Music Off

Johnny Mims is a band director at Minor High School, located in Alabama near Birmingham. He's been the band director since 2018.

Mims' high school marching band was at the Jackson-Olin's football game to hype the crowd, like most high school bands do. The game ended with Minor High School winning 27-0. But after the game ended, the bands kept playing from both schools. They continued to play long after the game ended.

Police finally showed up and asked both bands to shut it down and leave. The Jackson-Olin band did as they were told. But Johnny Mims wasn't about to just pack up. His high school football team just blew out the other team. They we're there for the celebration. Mims ignored the request from the police officers. They were getting frustrated because the crowd wasn't leaving. Mims told his band to keep playing.

Mess Around And Find Out

Police eventually had enough and decided to arrested Johnny for not listening to their orders. But Johnny resisted arrest, according to Meaww. When he started to resist, one of the police officers had had enough, so he tased Mims. Mims refused to put his hands behind his back. He also shoved one of the officers.

Mims was finally detained. The band packed up and fans and families cleared out.

Johnny Mims is facing charges for disorderly conduct, harassment, and resisting arrest. As for Mims still having a job, it's still up in the air. AL.com reported that the school's superintendent put out a statement, but will not comment on anything until they've finished getting all the facts straight.

7 Hilarious High School Yearbook Quotes

They may not be as popular as they were when we were teenagers, but the high school yearbook is still around, and today's digitally-oriented teens are coming up with some hilarious quotes.

Clark County School District high school seniors have already gone through their graduation season for the most part. But, I am sure they are still checking out what their best friends wrote in their yearbooks, what photo they used, and what quote they chose.

Ah yes, that normally embarrassing awkward photo, captioned with whichever clubs or teams you participated in, followed by a quote of some kind. Should I make it serious? Thoughtful? Playful? Funny?

I found an article on BoredPanda.com written by Greta Jaruševiciūtéwhich shows hundreds of funny high school yearbook quotes, with photos attached. I cannot use the photos in this article because I do not have permission, but there are some really funny quotes, especially when they are teamed up with the appropriate high school yearbook photo. If you want to see the BoredPanda.com list, just CLICK HERE.

I had to crack open my dusty, old, high school yearbook to see which quote I chose back then. Well, it turns out I attempted to be thoughtful, and then finished up with some self-deprecating humor about my "schnozz."

Wow, where did all that hair come from? Love the disco collar on that shirt too. I guess you'll be able figure out the era in which I graduated high school by taking a look at that photo. Oh well. Who knew then that I would be looking back on that nugget of "wisdom" so many years later and sharing it on something called "a website post."

Scroll on down to see my seven favorite hilarious high school yearbook quotes. Oh yeah: "Have a great summer! See ya in home room in the fall."

1) Twin Sisters

Their photos in the high school yearbook show the younger sister on the left, and just to the right, the older twin sister. The younger twin sister's quote is: "I'm only 3-½ minutes younger." The older twin sister's quote is: "Best 3-½ minutes of my life." Now that's funny! Maybe its just because I'm the oldest sibling in my family.

2) Nigerian student

A Nigerian male high school student named Segun Akigbogun offered up this gem as his high school yearbook quote: "I'm that Nigerian prince that keeps emailing you." Love it! I just hope he wasn't serious because he owes me $57,000 dollars! (jk)

3) Future TV Sitcom Writer

I love this guy's sense of humor. Who would write something like this for their high school yearbook quote? "It's hard being a single mother, especially when you have no children and are a teenage male." I thought I was funny in high school, but I know I wasn't that funny.

4) Joe McDonald

When people use the same joke to tease you all of your life, you have to return the favor with your high school yearbook quote. Graduating student Joe McDonald wrote: "No, I did not have a farm." Mic drop!

5) Arms. Legs and Fingers

This kid put some real thought into his high school yearbook quote. Either that, or he read it somewhere else and plagiarized it: "I would like to thank my arms for always being by my side; my legs for supporting me. And, finally my fingers because I can always count on them." He had to have read that somewhere else before, right? I bet he already has his Academy Award acceptance speech written and ready to go at a moment's notice.

6) She Did Not Have Good Grades

Some students finish high school with high grades, and some with low grades. Most of us finish high school with mediocre grades, and this young lady used the perfect high school yearbook quote to describe her academic career: "I had to put my grades up for adoption because I couldn't raise them." Take that, Mom and Dad!

7) Vegetarian

To eat meat, or not to eat meat. That is the question. It does not matter to me whether you are a vegan, a vegetarian, a carnivore, or anything in between. Totally your choice. But I love this kid's hilarious take on the topic: "I am not a vegetarian because I love animals. I am a vegetarian because I hate plants." I'm sure he doesn't actually hate plants, but that is a very funny way to describe your choice of eating habits.
