To be perfectly honest, I think he was picked up on possesion and he made bail and skipped out.

The whole: "You're gonna send me back to where I came from Please don't send me back to where I came from"

Indicates he might have been in prison before.

The: "Please don't fit me for that orange jumpsuit" Is so obvious, prisoners wear orange jumpsuits.

What makes me believe he skipped out on bail was the "Big bus headed southeast from the courthouse but I'm not headed southeast from the courthouse" and "Let me lie low".

@RedLeaf If he skipped out, why would he be praying for space junk to break a hole in the roof?
