On July 18, 2024
, at approximately 1615 hours, I was dispatched to a Public Indecency at 28 W Broughton St.
Upon arrival, I observed Mr. Santos Rodriguez sitting on a bench wearing only underwear. When Mr. Santos saw me approaching, he attempted to put on his shirt inside out.
While ing Mr. Santos, I could smell a distinct and heavy odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his person. I advised Mr. Santos to put on his clothes immediately and requested his ID for identification. Mr. Santos was visibly intoxicated and unable to respond appropriately due to his intoxication. After putting on his clothing, Mr. Santos was asked to leave the premises.
Mr. Santos complied by getting up and started walking, but he struggled with his pants falling off his waist. I kept watching Mr. Santos while he was trying to walk but he was unable to stand straight and was stumbling down the sidewalk. Mr. Santos appeared to not be able to safely navigate in a manner that would be safe for himself or the public. Mr. Santos then stopped walking in front of a family with children and began touching his pe*is from inside of his shorts. At this time, I decided to reengage with Mr. Santos and told him he was being placed under arrest.
