Night turns to day for disoriented dude

A UAPD officer was called to East Coast Subs at the intersection of Ninth Street and Park Avenue after an employee reported finding a man passed out next to the wall of the restaurant Saturday at 9:07 a.m.

The employee told the officer he had seen the man smoking a “joint” and when he told the man to leave, he refused. He said he was waiting for a concert across the street at The Rock and thought it was Friday night.

When the officer went to speak to the man, he tried to stand up but could not keep his balance.

A partially smoked marijuana joint fell out of the man’s pocket when he went to sit down. The officer asked for identification, and when the man stood up to take out his wallet, he almost fell over. He then sat on the joint and would not move when the officer asked him to.

When the officer got a hold of the marijuana the man denied that it fell from his pocket and said he didn’t know what it was.

The man was searched and the officer found a brown cigar and a silver flask in his pocket.

A records check showed the man was 18.

He was cited and released for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and for being a minor in possession of alcohol.
