Making the case, one drop at a time….

FORT PIERCE – A man who said he drank a case of beer was arrested after police spotted him Sunday night relieving himself on a local church, according to a recently released police report.

Just before 10 p.m. Sunday, an officer noticed Raymond C. Kersey “urinating on the entrance” of a church in the 400 block of Florida Avenue, the report states. “I asked him for his name and if he had any identification on him and he just stared at me, appearing to be lost,” the report states.

Kersey, who smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and turned 52 Tuesday, had difficulty standing in one place and tried to walk away from the investigator, who eventually arrested him on a disorderly intoxication charge.

The officer queried him as to why he was urinating and he said he didn’t recall doing so. As the officer took Kersey to jail, Kersey said he’d imbibed a case of beer. — Sun Sentinel

Good thing he wasn’t inside when the collection plate was passed.
