Drunk Man Called Cops 25 Times In Search For His Lost Hoodie Silke Jasso February 5, 2020 A confused and very intoxicated man frantically called the cops a total of 25 times in search of his lost sweatshirt. So, frustrated with his ridiculous and idiotic actions, the man was quickly arrested by annoyed cops and is now facing felony charges of disrupting public services. The felony charge might just be there to force him into a plea bargain and make sure he pleads guilty, avoiding the possibility of him wasting any time and resources of the court. It does however demonstrate the type of things that can be construed to be felonies these days, with all the many open-ended laws that are open to interpretation. An intoxicated Ohio man was arrested Monday morning after authorities say he called the police more than 25 times as he frantically searched for a hooded sweatshirt that he had misplaced. Harves Gardner, 32, is facing a felony charge of disrupting public for allegedly bombarding 911 operators with an onslaught of calls, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. “When police arrived [the] defendant only wanted rides around town to find his hoodie that he lost,” officers wrote in a police report obtained by the news outlet. Gardner was reportedly very inebriated while making the 911 calls. Officers told him to go to bed but he allegedly ignored their order and kept making calls, requesting that police respond to an array of different locations. He was booked into Hamilton County Justice Center. In Ohio, disruption of public services is a fourth-degree felony and is punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of $5,000.
Idiot. He'll end up with a fine and time served. Haha, maybe probation with a "no alcohol" requirement.
Such is ultimately a natural consequence of when the justice system becomes a business industry in and of itself. If there are not individuals to prosecute for some offense or another, the industry is without a justified reason to exist. The united states has become so dependent upon the justice system being a business industry, the economy would not be able to survive if it were reformed to reflect what it is truly supposed to be.
You're getting really off-topic now, but I believe there are several big cities in this country now, with high levels of poverty, where the majority of their local economy is dependent on government money coming in from public schools, courts and law enforcement.
It is quite on topic when the discussion relates to laws that are left deliberately open-ended so that they may be interpreted to fit whatever given situation, to ensure there is always a crime to be committed and prosecuted.
Such is ultimately the fault of themselves and only themselves for seeking such a course of employment.
Good. he repeatedly disrupted public services, by definition, and deserves whatever penalty he gets. Being drunk is not a mitigating factor, and neither is being a moron. I hope this ruins his life even more than it already is.
I think it was heavily excessive. Yes, some punishment is in the works for him, but he didn't end up causing any actual damage, and I think we should have some sympathy on the man when he just got drunk and made some bad choices, which practically amounted to just pestering the police. We are talking about a man criminally charged for calling the police (even though he did so excessively, 25 times). The police should have just arrested him and held him in a drunk tank holding area until he sobered up the next day.
Talk about a contradiction of terms. After 25 times he was QUICKLY arrested? That's pretty funny. After the second time I would have arrested him for drunk and disorderly, locked him up and probably just released him when he sobered up. That's why there just can't be rules for cops in each and every unusual circumstance.
