Ames Police Blotter: Public Intoxication and OWI

A 25-year-old Wisconsin man was so intoxicated that he wouldn't leave Jimmy Johns and couldn't seem to understand his rights, when Ames police asked him to take a chemical test, according to criminal complaints.

Ames Police went to Jimmy Johns on Welch Avenue about 2:30 a.m. Feb. 22 after someone called and said an intoxicated man refused to leave, complaints said.

The officer had to shake the man several times to wake him, because he was sleeping in a booth, complaints said. The officer wrote that he smelled like an alcoholic beverage, spoke with slurred speech, had bloodshot watery eyes and appeared to be disoriented, complaints said.

The man told police that he knew where he was, but was unable to say where and police weren't able to perform tests because the man was unable to track the officer's finger, complaints said.

Tyler Polson was then placed under arrest and taken to the police department where he was read his notice of right to a chemical test, according to complaints. Polson kept asking what would happen if he didn't sign the form and police said it was his right to decide whether to take the test, complaints said. After Polson spent 10 minutes reading the form, police said they needed an answer, when Polson didn't give one the officer marked “refuse,” and Polson was taken to the Story County Jail, complaints said.

The below information was provided by the Ames Police Department. An arrest doesn't indicate a conviction. To see other charges search for police blotter.
