The following incidents took place within the Team 5 jurisdiction of the City of Charleston Police Department between June 12 and June 27, 2017.
Arrest
A man was arrested for intoxication at a restaurant on Seven Farms Drive on June 12 just after midnight.
The man had not yet settled his tab and was acting “belligerently” behind the building, according to Lt. James Byrne, commanding officer for Team 5. An officer approached and attempted to speak to the subject, who then told the officer he was leaving. At that point, there was a small scuffle between the subject and the officer, but the officer was able to detain the subject and escort him to the cruiser.
The subject was taken to a hospital for a jail clearance due to his high level of intoxication and then taken to the detention center.
