Man too drunk to walk charged with public intoxication

A deputy was dispatched to the river after the man’s son called and said his father, Danny Clyde Wade, 60, of 112 Edanville Road in Braselton, was too drunk to walk to his car.

The son said he and his father arrived at the river earlier that evening and began drinking. The son said Wade had about six beers before switching to whiskey. Due to his excessive alcohol consumption, Wade rendered himself incapable of climbing back up the bank to his son’s car.

When the deputy arrived, he found Wade lying on his back. According to the report, Wade was unable to speak clearly and was “unable to function any of his body parts.”

The deputy and Wade’s son attempted to assist Wade up the embankment, but were unable to do so since Wade was dead weight.

The deputy requested medical assistance and eventually Wade’s son along with six public safety professionals were able to get the drunken man away from the river.

Due to Wade’s intoxication, the deputy secured a warrant for public intoxication.

Stripper wife’s friends accused of harmful intent

An Auburn man believes his wife’s friends may mean to do him harm.

The man said his wife recently moved out of the house and took her belongings with her. After the move, he and his wife decided to divorce.

The man said he was driving home from work last week when he received a call from his estranged spouse. The wife reportedly threatened to damage the man’s property while he was at work.

The man advised that his wife works as a stripper and “has many friends who would like to hurt him.”

According to the man, his wife has made threats to kick in his door and damage his vehicles. She has also allegedly told their juvenile children that she wishes he were dead.

The man further said he was concerned that his wife would call police and accuse him of harassment.

The deputy advised the man to refrain from contacting his wife and, should he wish to pursue the matter further, take his complaint before a magistrate judge.
