The man said he had stopped by to visit a friend but the man appeared suspicious to police. Police smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car.

Traffic Tribunal summons.

Monday, Dec. 15

12:32 a.m. – Someone called the police to report three pit bulls in a car, barking loudly, on Main Street. Police found the owners in Fat Belly’s. Police told the couple to settle their bill and take the dogs home. The woman said she wanted to finish her drink. The police talked with the man outside and he confirmed the woman was drunk. When police went back in to talk to the woman, they were told she had left through the kitchen and climbed through a window to escape to the alley. Police found her hiding behind a stack of chairs. She was unable to communicate coherently and became verbally abusive. Eventually, she agreed to come out to the front of the building, where the man was waiting to take her home. At one point she lunged toward one of the police officers so they restrained her and got her to sit on the ground. Police called rescue to take her to the hospital for a psych evaluation but when she heard that, she became combative. Police got her on a stretcher then used arm and leg restraints for her safety and theirs, according to the report. Police rode with the rescue truck to Kent Hospital, where the woman was evaluated.
