Walking

It turns out that besides the 50% calls that are people being over protective, that there are real concerned people actually calling in.

I had a call of a drunk man walking a little girl on the bike path. Here is the sad part, no uncommon. The bad part is that he has passed out. I drop my impound (just the ticket and let the license driver take the car) and rush over. I get to the area and get flagged down
"He went that way" I drive to the next street.
"He went that way" I drive down the next street.
"He went into house." I drive up to the house.
"He is right there"

Sure enough there is the man, stumbling around the yard. The little girl is nearby. Mom of the girl (and girlfriend of the man) comes from out behind the house and wants to know what is going on.
He is wasted and can't talk, Mom interprets. He doesn't want to cooperate. I explain what is going on and explain the quicker he cooperates the faster I will be gone.
He has a warrant, I hook him and cover is on his way. People start to come out of the house demanding to know what is going on. Cover arrives the people step back. I search him, pulling out stuff from his pocket and putting it on the back of the car. I pull out a pill from his pocket. He leans over quick like a chicken and puts the pill in his mouth. I bend him over the trunk while the other officer squeezes his mouth like a pimple. The family goes nuts "You are hurting him."

STAY BACK! comes the yells.
Another unit is requested as well as medical.
Man is so drunk he passes out, limp to the ground. I put him on his side. I sternum rub him and he wakes up. I ask the family what meds he takes and what they look like. They describe the pill he took for his back and heart trouble.

Everything gets calm. I put him in the car and let girlfriend say goodbye, before jail.

We get to the jail he says he wants to box, I remind him I let him talk to his girlfriend, he says he will box me next time. Never get guy upset before jail, the deputies hate it. Unfortunately, he passes out again in booking, wakes up and evidently requesting his shoes means "I WANT TO BOX" and his is escorted to a sobering cell.

If the pill was just for his back/heart troubles, why would he try to sneak it... why not just say what it's for?
