A 29-year-old man catcalled at women while consuming beer at Kroger before being arrested on suspicion of public intoxication, according to a police report.
At about 6:24 p.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to the Kroger in the 1600 block of South Loop 288 for a report of criminal trespassing. The employee caller said the man was catcalling and whistling at women while drinking deer, according to the report.
The man told officers he had started drinking alcoholic beverages at about 4 p.m. before arriving at Kroger. He said he consumed a 20-ounce beer at a nearby restaurant and then went to another business where he consumed more beer, according to the report. The man reportedly said he was going to call a family member for a ride home but would walk home if no one answered.
Officers said they could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage on the man’s breath. The man failed a field sobriety test and was allowed the chance to call for a ride home, the report states. He was unable to get a ride and was arrested on suspicion of alcohol public intoxication.
Under state law, a person commits the offense of public intoxication if they are intoxicated to the degree that they seem to be a danger to themselves or others.
