Question

Fans compile a list of character arrests from Seinfeld episodes, debating which incidents qualify as actual arrests versus minor infractions or unconfirmed incidents.

Hey, I need your help. For the newsletter I am working on a Top Ten Arrests type list. I'm doing a top ten people arrested type deal. I have a few so far. I know there are more....can anyone add to this list? And if you can, please name the episode it came from, Thanks in advance.

The Visa A mix-up with Jerry's mail causes Babu to be arrested for not renewing his visa. Jerry tries to get the lawyer to help Babu, but George's honesty when his relationship is threatened causes Babu to be deported and Elaine to still be sued by the delivery boy she hit.

The Handicap Spot George becomes his father's butler after his father gets arrested for parking in the spot. (George parks his father's car in a handicap parking spot, after taking Kramer's advice. An angry mob trashes the vehicle when a disabled woman gets injured, because of the illegal parking).

The Parking Garage Jerry: I was arrested for urinating. George: Me too. Elaine: You what? Jerry: I have uromysitisis.

The Little Kicks Kramer: Jerry, George got arrested. Jerry: What? Kramer: Yeah. He went at the Beackman, he tried to land, but they cheesed him. (Arrested for bootlegging)

The Hamptons Kramer steals lobsters from lobster traps.

The Stranded Jerry & Elaine keeping the hosts up real late, while waiting for Kramer to come and pick them up. The host later takes Jerry up on his offer to drop by when he is in the city, just as Jerry is leaving. He stays in Jerry's apartment for the evening and parties with Kramer and a lady of the evening.

The Bookstore George plans to steal a good copy of the book, so he can return it to get his money back. Just as Jerry finds out from the manager that the manager has been told that the store needs to make a good example out of a shoplifter, any shoplifter, as long as they catch him in the act.

The Final They witness the robbery of a fat guy, which they all mock and Kramer videotapes. They are arrested under the Good Samaritan law established by the town. They are looking at a fine of a maximum of $85,000 and up to five years in prison.

The Maid Jerry spots Cindy walking down the street and tries to pay her but gets busted by the police.

The Trip While auditioning, Kramer must deal with the advances of an older female landlord and get someone in Hollywood to read his script treatment. A body is discovered; the victim, a young woman, was strangled. Kramer meets a woman at an audition and he gives her a copy of his script. Kramer gave the script to is strangled and his script is found in her possession. Kramer's face is shown on the news as the prime suspect for the "Smog Strangler," a serial-killer.

i think this ep has two arrests but don't remember if they were explicit: George for shoplifting Jerry for solicitation ?

A real arrest would be when the person is shown being photographed with the sign with the number on it below their face. Like when Kramer was arrested for being a pimp when wearing the technicolor dreamcoat, that is an arrest. That's not in your list. Kramer in the Hamptons, wearing a prison outfit, that would count but the handicap spot (a ticket) or the parking garage (just a mention and being spoken to by a rent-a-cop who isn't police, just security) or the stranded (what happens there?) are lame.

I love the line in "The Maid" that the cop says to Jerry through the megaphone. "You wanna step out of the car, Sicky!"

cheesed him.

A minor point: Kramers line should read: Yeah. He went *down* at the Beekman, he tried to *lam*, but they cheesed him.

The Beekman is the theatre where George was bootlegging. He tried to lam (as in run away) and the cops, of course....cheesed him!

(NewsGuyMike take note, the script page shows the line incorrectly.)
