A man walking down a Callaway street spotted a Bay County Sheriff’s deputy and ran away. The deputy caught up to the man and observed that the man’s pants were unbuttoned and unzipped but the man’s genitals were covered. The man provided the deputy with his driver’s license and told the deputy that a friend had given him a ride to a location in the are and he had gotten lost on his way home. The deputy asked for the friend’s name but the man refused to answer any further questions.

The deputy arrested the man for loitering and prowling because of high incidents of crime in the area and because the man “was unable to dispel my believe (sic) that he was attempting to purchase illegal narcotics, commit a theft or looking for windows to peep into.”

A fight between two people blocked traffic on E. Business 98 Sunday night. A Bay County Sheriff’s Deputy found two men punching and kicked each other in the street. Before one man could be named street king the deputy arrested them both.

“The two were extremely intoxicated and could not or would not speak any English,”the deputy wrote in an incident report. “Both had the strong smell of alcohol coming from their persons.”

Both were charged with disorderly intoxication.

When a deputy arrived at a care facility this week he was greeted by a shout of, “He’s running!”

The deputy chased the juvenile into a bathroom where the kid turned and confronted him. While writing about what happened next the deputy appeared to be inspired by Robert B. Parker.

“He (the juvenile) shoved both hands in his pockets and took a step forward in an aggressive manner,” the deputy wrote. “He also had an angry blank stare on his face.”

The deputy attempted to arrest the juvenile but the kid did not cooperate.  The deputy then attempted to use a pressure point behind the suspect’s ear.

“He smiled and stated, ‘Is that supposed to hurt?’” the deputy wrote. The deputy then used a modified arm take-down and put the suspect on the bathroom floor. The suspect then decided to comply and was handcuffed. He was charged with battery.

The man found a “very attractive woman” standing in his doorway at about 9 p.m., Bay County Sheriff’s Deputies wrote in an incident report.
