A troubled man with over 60 arrests who has a history of stripping down in public overdosed for the second time in a week on Sunday afternoon.
Just after 4 pm, a call came in reporting a man stripping off his clothes in the parking lot of Tim Horton’s on Chillicothe.
When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered a man battling mental illness and drug issues had overdosed.

Under the Influence at Taco Bell

Another incident with an intoxicated man came in just after 3 am. This time, a confused man speaking Spanish called 9-1-1 for help. Officers were able to track his phone to the Tim Horton’s Parking lot.
Officers didn’t have much luck helping the intoxicated man find his home until a Spanish-speaking officer from the SCSO stepped in to translate. Police were able to find his house and turn him over to a sober party.
