He Walked Home Drunk Instead of Driving and STILL Got Arrested

- An Ohio man tried making the right call by walking home after a Halloween party with his co-workers. Dressed in his make-shift costume, Lakewood officers approached him after noting he “couldn’t walk straight.” What happened next left “Batman” in the back of a cop car.

It’s pretty ridiculous that they arrested him. Why not just make sure that he gets home safely or give him the option to call an Uber or something
I do agree, but technically being drunk in public is against the law. For safety reasons, for example, if a drunk stumbled into the road and got hit by a car, it would mess up his life and the driver's.
@@cheryllynnbostrom1308there is a difference between lawful and ethical. it is not against the law to not trust the police so if police want citizens to blindly trust them no matter what, then dont do crap like this.
@@cheryllynnbostrom1308 - But if it is illegal to be drunk in public the cops could theoretically lurk around bars and arrest everyone who drank more then 3 drinks the moment they step outside.
If they’re going to waste their time taking him to the station, and he lives 2 blocks away, why not just drive him home instead of making a big deal wasting a bunch of time waking people up to come get him.
@@cheryllynnbostrom1308 Then cops would arrest everyone who leaves a bar on sight. These cops are stormtroopers.
Why arrest this guy? I bet he learned his lesson. He'll probably just drive next time.
Honestly this is a touchy situation for the cops. Ohio law states excessive public intoxication is illegal. The cops are on camera. If they don't, they get chastised because they didn't follow the law. If they do, they get chastised by people who see the video. In the end, Tyler was appreciative of the officers and that's all that really matters. Just think of how our society would be if everyone took responsibility like Tyler. One of the few videos with a happy ending.
@@explorenakedNobody would have seen the video if they hadn't messed with him because there would be no video! If they did that here in New Orleans that's all they would do! Stupid wasteful policing!
Did they arrest him? It looked like they just detained him for his own safety.
@@katherineduke3232 Yeah the arrested him. Probably made him sleep it off in the drunk tank and let him go in the morning. It's still BS though. He was too drunk to drive, not too drunk to stumble home. Ridiculous waste of policing! All they did was give someone else a reason to hate the police!
😂😂😂
This is a good example of bad policing. He was intoxicated in public, but he wasn’t causing any problems. Easily could have just given him a ride home and let him off with a warning.
I would’ve spent half my teens and early 20’s getting jacked up for the crime of drunk walking if the cops in my town were as bored as these guys are.
Yeah, I lived in my cities downtown in my 20's and I've been in this guys shoes before. I've never heard of anything like this happening in Canada. Cops in the US are pretty special.
This guy should not have been arrested, absolutely annoying to witness
Then to make fun of him with the sky light comment was unprofessional
@@dohc16vturbo4g63 Naa that was just trying to lighten the mood, I think?
cops were really a couple of smart asses.
Disorderly conduct? This guy is more kind than 99% of people who are stone sober! Just give the guy a ride home and listen to him and giving advice to help Tyler better his life.
$3 for an uber? in what world, Narnia?
Yeah no kidding. Even a trip 4 minutes away is 10.00 min
Right?
Not in Biden's America, that's for sure.
$18 is the lowest price I've seen... wow.
@@AlWorth9738 where tf do you live... ive got an uber a mile away for 8 bucks where i live. lol
What's the crime here? Not walking straight? And why the weird question about his dad going to church? Ridiculous.
Public intoxication.
@@dinabaughman8731 🐑
Public intoxication is a crime but usually cops won't pull that unless someone is actually creating a disturbance and they want to pile on the charges. This wasn't really a good use of that charge.
Because it was probably Sunday morning, when most sky man believers get together, what an easy question that you could've answered for yourself with just a couple of thoughts 🤔.
@@user-gt7ji9of9z not at 5am, get real. It was a low blow by jerks
That cop shouldn’t make fun of someone, that’s no professional at all. Karma is a good thing.
Can i get a hug?😂😂😂😂😂 this poor guy. He seems real chill and respectful. They could've just taken him home. Its cool to see someone NOT act like a fool when drunk. Hope they just dismiss his case
That’s happening more often these days, particularly in my region - taking people to a place of safety so they don’t end up splattered, passed out on a footpath/road or getting into trouble on their way home. Of course it also means that certain people are taking advantage of that 🙄
@@allisonjames2923great, let people take advantage of it. Better than driving drunk or otherwise causing issues. Driving 20 people home probably uses less resources than one DUI arrest, and taking a couple hundred a night is better than one drunk driver getting into an accident (and the associated resources).
leave him alone. sucks enough to be walking in the rain after a party.
They had nothing better to do than mess with someone walking home? Who cares if he was drinking (on a holiday), he literally wasnt messing with anything or anyone, or causing any kind of disturbance.
Not why they do it 🙄 They know he’s likely to end up in trouble, passed out on a road or footpath or hit by a car stumbling home that drunk so want to get him off the street. While it would be nice to just drop him home maybe that’s against their dept policy so they had to arrest him to take him to the station. They didn’t take his weed, they didn’t process him through the jail, they just gave him a ticket & got someone responsible to pick him up. You’d be amazed how many drunk people a night end up passed out somewhere trying to walk home
@@allisonjames2923 So they arrested him for future crimes? Pre-crimes?
@@AbsurdCatsthey didn’t arrest him!! They took him to the station and his brother picked him up. They wrote him a ticket (that won’t show up on his record) in the parking lot of the police station.
@@TinaD.64 they literally said "let's play a game and arrest batman"
I get he's drunk but he wasn't harming anyone, and arresting him in case he gets in trouble is just...its daft, it's a waste of time, resources, it takes police away from doing things that need doing. And it ruins an innocent person's night! He harmed no one, and now he has to pay a fine? I think this is insane.
@@TinaD.64 They literally arrested him at 1:53
You don’t want people to drink and drive but you arrest a man walking home from his work party??!!! Not doing anything illegal and no drugs and you have nothing better to do than make fun of him and arrest him. And he’s still so kind and respectful!! So pathetic!!!
What a useless arrest.
How out of touch are these cops? 3 dollars for an Uber ride home? In what world?
Poor kid. Just give him a ride home officer. Geez.
You can tell he's a good kid, just give him a ride home, good lord.
Wow what a joke. They were so patronising to him he was polite all the way
My boyfriend was walking home ridiculously drunk one night, cop saw him standing on the sidewalk weaving around, pulled over to talk to him.
He had kinves on him and the cop took them, drove him home and returned the knives at his door.
This seemed unnecessary.
wow. really saving the town guys....i woulda offered him a ride home and called it a night. these 2 cops were bored. smh
too scared to actually respond to real calls lmao
Jeesh. So he’s walking home drunk? He wasn’t bothering anyone. But what a good guy he is.
Arresting someone over that is beyond insane, land of the free 😂
Am I missing something? You can't be arrested for public drunkenness if you aren't bothering people and causing a scene.... like I understand helping him home, especially since he's being so polite and cooperative. But...... why arrest/detain him?
No in America you absolutely can be arrested just for that
Depends on the state
boost their numbers. get a few citation bucks for the state
@@jacofalltrades7610Not why they do it 🙄 They know he’s likely to end up in trouble or hit by a car stumbling home that drunk so want to get him off the street. While it would be nice to just drop him home maybe that’s against their dept policy so they had to arrest him to take him to the station. They didn’t take his weed, they didn’t process him through the jail, they just gave him a ticket & got someone responsible to pick him up.
@@allisonjames2923if they wanted to prevent him from doing what you said then they would have either taken him home with no citation or just taken him to jail but obviously they want to take his money and boost their numbers
He’s such a sweet drunk!😂
If only everyone was.
He wasn't causing any disturbance that I could tell - what's the problem? That giggling cop should be reprimanded.
What a ridiculous and pointless arrest.
Where can you
get an Uber for $3?
I generally support the police but this seemed totally unnecessary. He wasn't bothering anyone. Give him a ride home.
These cops need another job. They are not qualified for this one. They need to find real criminals and not someone walking home from a party.
I don’t understand the reason for arrest. Let him call a cab or friend. Not right
You want us to defend you from the idiots who think social workers should replace you? Don't do this crap.
👍
That's not what defunding involves, it's unfortunate that people don't research more, they just hear a word they think means something (in their defense it's likely the media and social circles they interact with take advantage of their ignorance). It means doing a thorough assessment based on statistics and overview of departments to determine unnecessary overhead and administrative misuse of funds that could otherwise be allocated for staff and services that would improve the safety of the public AND LEO. For example if a department has say 7 SWAT vehicles and historically they've only ever needed or used 3 of them then they might be able to offload just 2 of them and along with other such reduction in overhead (not in the number of officers employed but overhead, like having numerous clerical staff doing the same job) that might allow for mental health professionals to be staffed to allow officers to focus on events more within their scope of duty within the community, to deescalate during domestic calls if applicable, provide follow up services to reduce recidivism, to provide ongoing education and training to staff to improve safety and community support and also to provide desperately needed mental health support to LEO... that's it... it does NOT mean getting rid of police 😊
Ridiculous, Just give the kid a ride home
Polite, respectful, and appreciative. A sensitive man. All good!
Seems like a nice young man, very respectful. His brother seems to be a jerk.
He is such a sweet and respectful young man who is struggling. I have watched so many of these body cam clips and this is the first one that made me cry. A ride home and a warning, or citation at most is all that was needed here, not handcuffs. "Let's play a game and arrest Batman..." What? No. Just no.
I know “I didn’t do anything wrong” is a common phrase people say when being arrested, but this guy really didn’t do anything wrong. If they wanted him off the street, why not just drive him home? He wasn’t bothering anyone.
Why these cops felt the need to stop this guy I can't figure out. He was walking, not bothering anyone, not yelling and no crimes. I hope the judge sees these cops didn't have anything better to do than bother a kid who was walking home from his Christmas party.
I genuinely feel for that guy. What a nice person. Even my older brother doesn't act that nice when he's drunk.
i'm so exhausted from horrendous and pervasive police behavior - yet while this is sadly so minor in comparison to vastly more brutal acts - its really got my blood boiling.
its the tedium and unnecessity that really pushes your regular ol malice over the top
Seems like a sweet kid. Glad he acted like a grown up and nothing went wrong with this call.
Only one who did wrong with this call were the police
Oh man. Don't you wish more suspects were like this? I think they could have just driven him home if he's really only a couple blocks I mean come on. I love LEOs and I thought that's the direction these guys were heading in...
Good job boys, you taught him to drive next time instead of walking.
There was no need to arrest him. They should have just let him call his dad or brother and be done with it. He wasn't hurting anyone. Just drunk, trying to make his way home.
Getting arrested for walking home intoxicated not bothering anybody? F* on outta here!
I hope he gets a good lawyer. I’ve seen so many videos of cops saying “we’d rather you call us & we’ll give you a ride home than to drive” & this guy made the right choice by walking. I hope everything was dropped. Disgusting.
Didn’t know you can go to jail for not walking straight? Seems like he was being responsible enough to not drive, especially if he couldn’t afford a Uber
Dude was minding his own business not bugging anyone. Just strollin by himself in the rain and ya'll gave him some advice and he seemed appreciative and like he needed to talk.
Lakewood cops being lakewood cops. There's certain suburbs around Cleveland you just avoid cause the cops are dicks. Example here.
I was just going to post this!!
This arrest was ridiculous
give these cops a weekend in vegas, get some perspective
This is awful. 😢
Takes “alcohol is a depressant” to a new level 🤦♀️ But at least he seems like a good guy at heart. Definitely hope he gets off the grog! If he drinks often enough he’s thinking he needs to stop, then he needs to stop now!
Thats messed up! Let the dude stumble home! He wasn't hurting anyone! This crap is what gives police a bad name! Absolutely no reason to arrest him!
Can't drive home......cant walk home.......geez.....this arrest is so unlawful.
They obviously didn't have anything else to do
Arresting him for doing the right thing and leaving his car and walking home? And the guy is perfectly decent to everyone mean you could’ve just given him a ride home right?
European here. Not sure I get why he's arrested. Am I missing something? Where and when was he conduct himself _disorderly_ ?
You are not allowed to be intoxicated in public even while walking in America. It's allegedly to keep the person safe and out of potential trouble. The police can handle it at their own discretion. I think there were multiple police because it was a slow night. 😅
Yeah, a lot of US cities make it illegal to just be intoxicated on the street. You don’t have to be disorderly. Some notable exceptions are Las Vegas and New Orleans.
Oh well, they did cite him with disorderly conduct 🤦🏻♂️.
So the cop wants to know what he is doing with his missing time?
Why hassle the guy? Help him home or leave him alone. He’s not bothering anyone. I guess if he looked totally lost and incapable of walking himself home.
Oh. Nevermind. The officer explains it all in the end.
What a waste of police resources
I've always walked home from the bar I've been pulled over several times and never once been arrested! In fact they tend to appreciate that I'm not driving! This is messed up...
I loved just about everything in this interaction. I wish they didnt have to cuff him (im sure its policy but he was kind, cooperative, and genuinely appreciative) and I wish they simply detained him for his own safety while someone came to get him and let him off with a warning. I know its a misdemeanor ticket but still. Its rare to see someone taking full responsibility, thanking the police and understanding their role and responsibility and his own role and responsibility, and didnt even argue the ticket or ask or beg or anything to get out of it. If anyone deserves a break, its this guy. Even clearly plastered, he STILL was honestly a great man for his response for this whole thing which speaks volumes about his core character. I truly wish the best for this man and I hope he really does follow through and takes better care of himself. He definitely has the right attitude to get it done ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I’m confused, why would this man be arrested anyway? He was walking home drunk. I’ve done that….dozens of times in my 28 years on Earth, ya know, because it’s not a crime to drink alcohol. The guy seemed super chill, it’s not like he was out ‘raging’, causing a scene etc, and couldn’t have been doing a more innocent thing than attending a work function that happens to be a costume party. Unfortunate situation, just glad he ended up with a fine, as you can tell he was rightfully frightened & upset y their ridiculous behavior. The cop trying to justify what happened at the end just sounded foolish, I’m sorry you can’t deny it was insanely foolish, the guy was harmless, intoxicated, and ready to go home and sleep off those drinks.
Seems like a waste of time to arrest this guy, at least he's not driving right? Just give him a ride home.
Arrested for walking home drunk without disturbing others? That's some bull.
Annoying, condescending cops. They think people will think they are cool and cute when they watch the footage, but they really come across as bullies. NO reason to arrest the guy. He did the right thing by NOT driving.
99% of you didn’t watch the whole video. They didn’t arrest him. They detained him, drove him to the police department’s parking lot, then let his brother come and take him home. He was not booked. No criminal charges. Just a minor misdemeanor fine.
The problem is cops acting like idiots making fun of a guy doing absolutely nothing wrong
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. At least he didn't drive. Why did they even have to stop him? Ridiculous.
Unnecessary
Tyler is just so sweet, and appreciative of what the cops are doing. He along with the cops are just wonderful!
This man is the most precious man on earth.
He was walking home! He didn’t get behind a wheel.
This is absurd. He shouldn’t have been arrested. He chose the better way…..NOT DRIVING. Cop should have been compassionate and made sure the guy got home safely. What a jerk.
Why did the police officer ask if his dad went to church? What does that have to do with anything??
I would have gotten emotional if they told me I could keep my weed🤣🤣😉 poor kid I really do feel bad for him getting a ticket😏
this was the most wholesome interaction with cops ive ever seen
I would have gave him a hug, made someones day that was going through alot a while back.
Yeah... this is dumb. Stop punishing people for this stuff. Was he really bothering or hurting anyone??
He was hurting himself. Walking home in an intoxicated state is dangerous. For him especially, and could be life changing for the person that he walks out in front of and they accidently kill him. He is a fool. That is a given. No one with brains gets themselves in this condition and circumstance. For those of you that say "I have done this or I do this all the time" . Well you have answered your own question. They gave him a Misdemeanor ticket to remember the incident by. It is not really punishment. More like a reminder. And his drunken behavior was explained to him and the dangers it entails. They gave him the name of a social recourse if he needs help in the future. And the officer gave him his name and some advice. It was and ending that could have went a lot worse. He could have been mugged or killed.
The only way someone could possibly be responsible while drunk in this city is either hiding it while driving or having someone drive you home. Even if you aren't harming anyone or causing a disturbance, you will be arrested just for not walking entirely straight.
Wow.
GUY IN THE VIDEO IF YOU ARE READING THIS: I promise you have not been in any way shamed by this video... just look at the other comments if you doubt me.
-You actually did the right thing by not driving
-Were tons more polite drunk than most people are sober
-You had to do that while taking all this patronizing crap from the cops (who were not doing good policing).
If this is you at your worst or most undignified you are doing tons better than the rest of us. Hold your head high!
Officer Cooper and the other officers deserve to be held in high regard. That young man needed someone to talk to and their empathy and kindness was wonderful to see😇😇😘
i understand its illegal to be in public like that and intoxicated, but its not like he was harassing anyone. It was like 5am... Nobodys out, and he just want to get home rather than drive drunk. I hope this charge gets droppped.
ONE OF THE NICEST MOST DECENT DRUNKS.......NOT FAIR, YOU COPS!!
The cop that was laughing 2:35 is the Joker in disguise.
Why is Batman arrested?What's the Problem here?🤔
Aw this poor kiddo he just needs some love
Dont understand why they couldn't just drop him home?. So much for community policing. Tyler did not deserve to be arrested
I would have only arrested him for one thing... saying "baby mama." Get some culture.
I watch these channels all day, everyday to see police catching the bad guys, but this is some shameful BS cop bullying... the dude wanted to be responsible and walk a few blocks home, then he gets rewarded for a public intoxication ticket?? So you can't drive home drunk, you can't walk a few blocks home drunk- what is the alternative? No, a $3 ride is not feasible because the Uber driver will decline a trip that short. These Lakewood cops are a poor example for those rookies by demeaning well intended citizens.
What a nice guy. I truly wish the best for this man. The hug was too much. 😅😅lol
What a great video.good people make mistakes too
He didn’t drive, he is being responsible walking home, so why would they arrest him? That is ridiculous.
I know I left the bar a few times fairly intoxicated and walked home. Never ran into the police and now I'm glad I did because apparently you can get arrested for Walking home while being drunk. Wouldn't it be an easier for you guys just to have brought him home.? He was preventing a drunk driving incident by not driving and you arrest him for walking.
I agree with many of the other posters. This was just painful to watch
I will say this is an example of the police kinda violating a persons rights. Even if they wanted to confront him, his initial response to their questions was enough to atleast either let him go or take him home since their just "Soo concerned"... But atleast he had someone who cares to get up and come get him. 😸☺️
Wtf have I just witnessed. Unbelievable u can't leave a bar and walk home
10/10 Police work.
He'll know to drive instead of risking a dangerous walk home next time, thanks Officers!
I was always taught if you walk home drunk in a city. Watch out for homeless and creeps. If you walk home drunk outside if a city. Watch for cops. They will arrest you for being drunk in public.
This happened in the U.S.?! This is absurd.
Thanks for a positive energy video. I really wish there was more of these on here tbh
I really hope these cops were reprimanded after this. This guy was bothering nobody and nothing but respectful. If they were worried about his level of intoxication then they should have just made sure he got home safely. I'm glad they at least had enough sense to change their mind about bringing them into jail but he shouldn't have even gotten a ticket
He wasn't driving, just wobbling. If it was spooky season, you know there was easily something more important for the officers to do.
I feel so bad for him. At least he's a kind and polite drunk.😢
Kindest drunk guy ever.. They should've just drove him home with a warning.... Its either the court cost or ticket money maker as to why they arrested him....
He was being responsible and not driving and they still bothered him. If you had an issue with him walking home, then offer to drop him off.
