Male rushed to the hospital
At 2:31 a.m. Nov. 1, officers responded to a call from residents at 320 E. Vine St. The residents reported they discovered an unknown person passed out inside their home. Upon arriving to the house, the officers noticed that the subject was underage and heavily intoxicated. Because the male subject was unconscious, he was transported to the hospital for an assessment. The residents of 320 E. Vine St. were adamant that they did not want to press charges for burglary. They made it clear to officers that they were more concerned about a possible medical emergency with the male and that he had not harmed their home in anyway. The male was charged with Offenses Involving Underage Persons, Intoxication to a Harmful Condition and False Identification.
