Shirtless and Walking in Traffic: Man Tells Cops, 'I Smoked a Bowl of Meth Last Night'

Gwinnett Police stopped a man last week who was walking toward oncoming traffic, taking his shirt off and talking to himself.

He was stopped near the intersection of Old Suwanee and Woodward Mills roads around 1:30 a.m. on June 8.

The man, sweating profusely and with red, dilated eyes, told police he was on his way home and thought a black SUV was following him.

He looked “dazed and confused,” according to the police incident report.

The officer asked if the man had been drinking.

“I drank a beer two days ago. That’s it,” he said.

The officer asked if he had taken any drugs.

“I smoked a bowl of meth last night,” he said.

The officer asked him what day it was.

“He told me Friday,” the officer wrote in the report. “Today was Sunday.”

The man was fidgety and continually talked to himself during the interview, the report stated. His pants kept falling off as he stumbled in the road. He was cursing loudly.

Police learned there were other complaints of the man in the area. He was arrested or disorderly conduct.
