# My Norwegian friend texted "jeg er arrestert" (I've been arrested) — what now?

"Jeg er arrestert" means "I've been arrested." The first hour matters most. Tell your friend: stay silent, do not answer questions beyond basic identification, do not sign anything, demand a lawyer. Then call Attorney Rory Munns at 401-573-2265 immediately to start the defense and contact the Royal Norwegian Embassy. Time-sensitive evidence such as stadium surveillance and witness statements can disappear within days.
