CRESTVIEW — A 35-year-old Alabama man is facing charges after allegedly creating a drunken disturbance at an apartment building.
On May 5 around 8:30 p.m., an off-duty officer reported nearly being struck by Henry Andrew Jones, of Castleberry, Alabama, in the parking lot of an apartment complex, according to the arrest report. The officer tried to check on Jones, who allegedly became verbally abusive and yelled obscenities.
Jones then tried to taunt the officer by “yelling at him to follow him to his apartment,” the report said. Other residence in the complex reported being disturbed by the yelling and going to the parking lot to check it out.
One resident reported that her three sleeping children woke because of the yelling, according to the report. Jones allegedly had “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” and became verbally abusive with on-duty Crestview Police officers who responded to the scene.
He was taken to jail, where he was asked twice if he had anything that would get him into trouble, the report said. His response was allegedly, “man check my pockets what the (expletive) an I going to jail for.”
Officers searched him and found nothing, according to the report. Once in the jail, he was searched again, and a razor blade was found in his pockets.
He is charged with felony introducing contraband into a county detention facility and misdemeanor breach of the peace.
His next scheduled court date is June 16.
