On Sunday, 8/4/24, while patroling Congress Street. I observed an individual, identified as CHARLES ROBERTS, urinating on the road.
Roberts was standing near a piece of construction equipment parked on the South side of Congress Street. In open view, he had his pants lowered with his hands near his genitals. Once I made with him, Roberts pulled his pants back up.
Upon asking Roberts about urinating in public, he replied that everywhere was closed and if he went in a lane, he would have been stopped there too.
Roberts was placed under arrest for “Public Indecency”. He was ed incident to arrest. His handcuffs were checked for proper fit and were double-locked.
Roberts was transported and booked into CCDC without incident. All property he had on his person was left with him at the jail.
My BWC was activated.
