Why wasn't the "April and Casey in custody" plot cut?

[neatoman]

The movie is almost two hours long, Casey April spend quite a lot of it in police custody while Vern helps to clear their names so he can bail them out. Why was any of this left in the movie? It's boring, mostly pointless (if not entirely so) and there was no need for filler considering it could have easily been ninety minutes without this subplot.

Anything else you could have been cut?
