On April 2nd, 2023 at approximately 6:30 p.m. a city officer was dispatched to the area of Circle K on 127 N and Interchange Dr. in reference to an disorderly male. Per dispatch, they had received multiple calls stating that a male with a red backpack was swinging a stick at passing cars in the roadway. They stated that the male was last seen walking towards Interchange Dr. after swinging the stick at cars while on Hwy 127 N. When the officer arrived at the area, he observed a male recognized as David Carter from previous encounters sitting on the side of the road on Interchange Dr. with a red backpack and a wooden stick resting at his feet. 

Mr. Carter appeared distressed, stating that he should have gone to the beach. The officer did not smell the odor of alcoholic beverages on his person but did locate a metal flask tucked into his right sock. The beverage inside smelled like pickle juice which he stated it was. The officer had responded to a call the previous night at a local hotel in reference to Mr. Carter being loud and disturbing his neighbors. Day shift officers had also advised that he’d been banned from the hotel earlier that day and that they’d had multiple dealings with him over the weekend. He had been a nuisance which resulted in him being banned from multiple business in the area of Hwy 127 N. due to threatening behavior by swinging a wooden stick at passing vehicles on a public highway and the previous calls of him disturbing businesses. The officer placed him under arrest for Disorderly Conduct. He was then transported to Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office without incident.
