14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this week, on Tuesday, 46-year-old Robert D. Brown of Nashville, Tennessee, was taken into police custody and put behind bars after law enforcement officers found him sitting on the entry ramp of Interstate 35 with nobody but empty beer bottles to keep him company.
Oddly enough, reports say that the other day's arrest is the 492nd time Robert D. Brown has until now been booked on account of being drunk in public and a threat to others or even himself.
The Tennessean tells us that the 46-year-old was first taken into custody for public drunkenness back in 1994. He is yet to learn his lesson, and so law enforcement officers in Nashville have grown accustomed to having to remove him from public places in an inebriated state.
On each and every of the 492 occasions he has so far been thrown in jail, the man was allowed to walk free after just a few days on the grounds that being drunk in public is a minor offense.
“You can’t lock a person up for public intoxication for five years. The law won’t allow you to do that. Yes, they come to jail tonight, go to court tomorrow, serve their time and are probably released in 24 to 48 hours,” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall said in a statement.
As for this past Tuesday's adventure, it looks like 46-year-old Robert D. Brown is already free and back on the streets. Thus, it was on Wednesday that a court of law dismissed the charges brought against him by his arresting officers.
