Ticket not paid, instead displayed, intoxicated man now in jail's shade

Posted: October 8, 2012 - 4:55pm

A man was arrested for an outstanding warrant after police responded to his house for a noise complaint. When searching the house, they noticed a ticket for public intoxication that was taped to the man’s bedroom door.

Police responded to Harton Street for a noise complaint. When they arrived, they heard the music coming from speakers placed in the windows of the house facing out. As the officer approached the front door, which was open, he noticed a man laying through a window.

The officer tapped the window and shined a flashlight to try and wake the man, but he was unresponsive. The officer went in the front door. There was alcohol strewn around the room and on the floor. The officer yelled out, but no one came to meet him.

The officer walked to the bedroom and saw the ticket for public intoxication taped to the door in a trophy-like manor. The officer was able to wake the man, who came into the living room. He appeared extremely intoxicated.

The officer noted that the man would receive an extreme noise citation. He submitted his identification, and after it was run through the system, it showed he had a warrant out for not paying his public intoxication fines. He was taken into custody and and cited for the noise violation.

Speaking of noise

The officer must have been making a lot of noise when he shined his flashlight if doing so woke the talented man.

Not that I expect you to believe the article, because it was, after all, written by man.

he noticed a man laying through a window.

Could he not have just tapped the man instead of the window.

Or what he really did was:

he noticed a man laying "inside" through a window.

Unlike other news stories,

Unlike other news stories, these are briefs written straight from the police reports, so if the officer says he was "laying through a window," then he was laying through a window.

Manor or manner??

"The officer walked to the bedroom and saw the ticket for public intoxication taped to the door in a trophy-like manor."

Really, a "trophy-like manor"??

That's a pretty big house to tape to the door, especially if it is trophy-like.

Do you suppose the writer meant to say "manner"?

Wow

"When searching the house, they noticed a ticket for public intoxication that was taped to the man’s bedroom door."

"The officer noted that the man would receive an extreme noise citation. He submitted his identification, and after it was run through the system, it showed he had a warrant out for not paying his public intoxication fines. He was taken into custody and and cited for the noise violation."

If he didn't pay the public intox citation, what makes you think he will pay the extreme noise citation. Bet he displays the noise citation right next to the public intox citation. lol
