Lt. Andrew Longuski and Detective Sgt. Derrick Jordan, who both work in the Polygraph Section of the Biometrics and Identification Division of the Michigan State [Police](http://time.com/5322172/hero-dog-police-spain/), were attending a training conference in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula when they got into a bit of trouble. The two polygraph experts were busted for taking a bicycle with a pink seat on a late-night joyride between bars on Mackinac Island, [the _Detroit News_ reports](https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/2018/06/25/2-michigan-state-police-troopers-charged-mackinac-bike-joyride/732487002/). As the island does not allow motorized vehicles, people usually travel by bicycle, foot, or tandems, which is why according to the _News,_ Longuski allegedly rolled up to Jordan on bicycle and offered him a ride to a new watering hole. Witnesses spotted the polygraphers “double riding” the bike down the streets and were busted late in the evening of May 18 by a state trooper. Turns out that the bike that Longuski and Jordan had allegedly been cruising around on was not theirs and the owners wanted it back. Things allegedly got a bit heated between all [the law enforcement officers](http://time.com/police-shootings-justice-department-civil-rights-investigations/). The [officers](http://time.com/5322269/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle/) were arraigned in the 92nd District Court of Mackinac County on the misdemeanor charges of Larceny Under $200 and Disorderly Conduct for their actions, according to a statement received by _TIME_ from the Michigan State Police. The misdemeanors are punishable by fines and up to 93 days in jail. According to the _News_, both men pleaded not guilty at their arraignments on May 30 and were released on bond. They will both be back in court in July.
