(He) appeared to be very intoxicated and could not give me all of his information. EMS arrived on scene shortly after I did and placed (the man) on a stretcher and took him to the ambulance. (His) ankle appeared to be broke or dislocated.”
The officer then spoke with a witness, who said “(The complainant) was flirting with a group of women when he tried to lean on a table and fell over. According to (witness) that is when (complainant’s) ankle got hurt.” The man was taken to Memorial by ambulance.
