On Saturday, March 24, at 4:09 in the
afternoon, Sgt. Fobes responded to the Tybrisa
Pier and Pavilion on the report of a drunk male
causing problems. There he found a white male
from Bloomingdale holding on to the railing of the
ramp leading up to the pier, holding on because “he

couldn’t stand up without” it. Sgt. Fobes arrested
him, patted him down, and found a half-smoked

wasn’t until almost midnight before they were
released. A short time later, Officer Powers
