66-year-old John Carr was charged with public intoxication after Lebanon officers found him on a drunken walk from the hospital.
On September 20th, Lebanon Police Officer Martin received a call about a man stumbling in the road towards Coles Ferry. Officer Martin found and talked to John Carr, the man in the roadway, and he told authorities that he had been drinking a lot that night.
Carr continued by saying he busted his lip playing basketball that night, and had his son take him to the hospital. Carr told authorities that the nurses at the hospital were taking too long, so he took it upon himself to walk home. Carr was noted to have the smell of alcohol about his person and was taken into custody for his own safety.
John Carr was arrested and charged with public intoxication. He was later released on his own recognizance.
