FORT WALTON BEACH – A man who was drunk and behaving strangely scared off visitors to the Indian Temple Mound in downtown Fort Walton Beach, resulting in his arrest.
On May 22 Fort Walton Beach Police were summoned to the temple mound to deal with what a caller reported was a drunken man staggering down the sidewalk with a beer in his hand and waving his arms wildly. The caller said the man caused people to get back in their vehicles and leave the area, and she was offended by the man’s behavior.
She said she “could not believe people could act like this in public,” the officer wrote in the arrest report.
Officers arrived at the area and found the 49-year-old homeless man drinking a beer. They said he smelled strongly of alcohol, had slurred speech, and water eyes.
He was charged with disorderly intoxication. His court date is June 11.
