A roundup of unusual
items from area police departments:
CLAYTON — Oct. 19: Officers responding to an accident in a field across from 8358 Hoke Road observed a female in the driver's seat of a vehicle stuck in mud.
The subject got out and started crying. An officer saw the vehicle was in reverse gear, its tires spinning. The subject smelled of alcohol and tripped and fell while being escorted to a cruiser.
She agreed to a field sobriety test but said she desperately needed to urinate. She then tried to walk to the side of the road and pull down her pants.
The subject was placed in the cruiser and taken to a police department interview room and asked if she needed the bathroom. She became agitated and said she would relieve herself in the interview room.
She then urinated in her pants and on the chair where she sat, then urinated again before being escorted to the bathroom. She refused sobriety tests, and was arrested for operating a vehicle intoxicated.
Man, awakened from slumber, tells police he did wrong
ENGLEWOOD — Oct. 12: A male passed out near bushes at the Code Credit Union, 415 W. National Road, was unresponsive when an officer yelled at him, then tapped his shoe bottoms.
He eventually regained consciousness. The odor of alcohol was on his breath.
He said he'd been lying there about 10 minutes. He advised he was walking home from a friend's house, and was tired from working six days a week.
When asked how much he had to drink, he stated, "about an hour and a half." He was taken home and issued a summons for disorderly conduct while intoxicated. While en route he stated, "I did wrong."
