Marchman Act: The manager at a bar and restaurant reported an intoxicated customer was refusing to pay her tab and leave. When an officer arrived, the customer said she thought the officer should have better things to do than bother her. After a long discussion, the customer agreed to pay her tab, but she still would not leave the business. The customer could not properly put her flip-flops on and remained uncooperative, so she was taken into protective custody.

One of the neighbors said he has “been to prison and is not afraid to go back,” the man said. An officer spoke to all parties, who said they would do their best to avoid one another going forward so the situation did not escalate.
