While on vehicle patrol late at night on March 31, a campus police officer spotted a man lying on the street on the south side of campus. Once the police approached the individual, they noticed the smell of alcohol. After questioning the man, the subject stated that he had been at a local bar earlier, drank four beers, and attempted to walk home when he fell on the curb.
The officer helped the man off the road and into the grass. After helping the man up, the officer noticed the man’s slurred speech and his lack of coordination. The police requested Med- Act, and soon after, the OPFD arrived to make sure the man’s health wasn’t in danger. No identification was on his person, but the man was able to provide his name and date of birth.
While medical personnel were checking the subject, they found the man had two warrants issued by the Kansas City Kansas Police Department. It was at the time when the man began to complain of a back injury he had received at work earlier that day. Med-Act was contacted again and upon arriving, transported the man to Overland Park Regional Medical Center. He was released by the hospital and apprehended by the Kansas City Kansas Police.
