67-year-old performs Elvis song and dance before being arrested for public intoxication inside a hospital

As 67-year-old Harold Cruise told officers he drank a pint of Vodka, he sang them Elvis songs from his hospital bed. He then stood up from his hospital bed and began dancing in front of officers. He was in the hospital to be medically cleared after someone found him in a ditch a bit earlier. He was released from medical care and taken to jail, charged with public intoxication by Lebanon PD.

ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT:
On 08/16/2021 @ 8:28 PM, I was dispatched to Vanderbilt Wilson County located at 1411 W Baddour Parkway for a disorderly intoxicated person. Upon arrival, I made contact with the offender (Harold Cruise). The offender was being cleared by medical staff, after being found intoxicated in a ditch earlier in the day. Officers stood by while the offender was cleared by medical staff.

While waiting to be cleared by hospital staff, the offender began to sing Elvis songs. The offender then stood up from his bed and began dancing. I asked the offender if he had been drinking, and he informed me that he had drank a pint of Vodka. The offender had extremely slurred speech, red watery eyes, and a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person.

When the offender was released from the care of the hospital, officers were informed by medical staff that they were in touch with his sister who refused to pick him up. After being discharged from the hospital, the offender was in the public and unable to care for himself. I took the offender into custody at this point. While walking the offender to my patrol car, the offender was extremely unsteady on his feet. I transported the offender to WCSO where he is being charged with public intoxication (TCA 39-17-310). The crime did occur in Wilson County Tennessee.
