After every UGA home football game, Flagpole news intern David Schick will be checking the police blotter to find the weekend’s funniest drunken antics. Here’s the third installment:
Dancing in the Street, Part One
After the game on Saturday, a police officer witnessed a group of intoxicated males walking downtown. A moment later, one of the males walked right out in front of a car, almost getting hit. He tapped the hood of the car and started dancing, “apparently pleased with his actions.”
Is Five ‘O’ Clock Old Enough to Drink?
Police responded to a report of an extremely drunk male lying on the floor of the downtown Holiday Inn. When asked for his date of birth, he responded, “Five o’clock.” When he was told to leave, the man left the hotel but began walking down Hull Street towards Broad Street and was arrested after repeated orders to get out of the street.
Couch-sitting
A concerned neighbor advised police that a man was kicking and banging on a door after the Bulldogs took home the win. Apparently, he was there to house-sit, but he vomited on the front porch and began shaking the door handle, trying to break the glass to the front door. When police arrived, the man was passed out on a couch that was on the front porch.
Rooftop Salivation
Police responded to LSU fans’ complaints of people yelling at passers-by from a rooftop downtown. A man, who was pointed out by witnesses, was accused of spitting on people as the walked by. The man had previously been warned multiple times to get off the roof.
Walk the Line… Straight to Jail
A man urinated on the front door of Walk the Line tattoo parlor on East Broad Street. When police made contact, the man was “full of attitude” and refused to corporate. As he was being put in handcuffs, “everything changed” and now he was sorry for what he had done. He also said that since he served his country in the Army, he deserves a break.
Dancing in the Street, Part Two
Before the game, an officer noticed five men running around in the street “playing some type of game” in heavy traffic. He began to approach the group and discovered that four of them were in possession of open beer containers. They were all underage.
