Manitowoc Police responded to a scene on Labor Day where a shirtless drunk man was causing a scene in public.
Officers arrived in the 400 block of North 7th Street at around 3:00 PM to find the shirtless man with a case of beer and several empty cans strewn about.
The man was barely able to stand, and told officers he lived in a nearby house. However, officers knew him from previous engagements and knew he lived elsewhere.
The 72-year-old man was placed under arrest, and none of his close family felt comfortable taking care of him. A neighbor also said that she saw him attempting to fix a fence that he may have broken while stumbling about.
He has been charged with Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Damage to Property, and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer.
If you or someone you know is suffering from addiction help is available from CORE Treatment Services in Manitowoc and HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan, or any local hospital in your area.
