Drunk Man Stands in Center of Street, Snarls Traffic, Gets Arrested: Police

An intoxicated White Plains man snarled traffic early Sunday morning at 3:41 a.m. by standing in the center of a busy intersection and refusing to move for motorists, cops said.

The 33-year-old Overlook Road resident had his jacket pulled over his head and his feet planted in the center of the Quarropas Street-Mamaroneck Avenue intersection, cops said, even as cars approached him and honked.

When police tried to arrest the man he latched on to a light pole, and later laid prone on the pavement with his arms tucked beneath his body, cops said.

The man was eventually cuffed and transported to headquarters, and was charged with disorderly conduct, a violation, and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.
