Police Blotter
Trespassing
A young male was seen walking around Marshall parking lots Friday, Feb. 9 around 1:45 p.m. The man was seen asking people for money. He was also seen looking into empty vehicles and pulling on door handles. Officers made contact with him and realized he had been warned and arrested for trespassing multiple times in the past. He was placed under arrest and transported to Western Regional Jail.
Underaged Drinking
Officers discovered a young male unconscious between two vehicles in the commuter parking lot on 6th Avenue. When the male was conscious, officers discovered that he was not a student. Officers said the male had red eyes, slurred speech, a staggered walk, and smelled of alcohol. When the male opened his wallet, officers noticed two driver’s licenses. Officers questioned the male on his fake identification. The male claimed he was born in 1996, the year on the fake ID. The officers issued a citation for drinking under the age of 21 and possession of a fraudulent driver’s license.
