A male subject wearing all black clothing was laying on the ground in the crosswalk in the middle of the street at the intersection of Sycamore Street and West Third Street. The P.O. could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the male subjects breath. The subject’s speech was extremely slurred and it was difficult to understand what he was saying. Using the driver’s license the P.O. identified the male subject, who stated that he was trying to walk home. Due to the subject’s intoxication level and slurred speech police was unable to determine where his home was. He also stated that he was walking home from Danny’s Bar and that he had “too many” alcoholic beverages consumed. Due to the subject being unable to walk, falling down and unable to care for himself due to his intoxicated state the Greenville Township Rescue arrived on scene and transported him to Wayne Hospital. The police filled out a misdemeanor citation out for disorderly conduct. Due to this offense being within 1000 feet of St. Mary’s Catholic School the offense is enhanced to a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
