Man Charged with being Intoxicated in a Public Place  

A man has been charged with being intoxicated in public after a disturbance call in Chatham.

According to police, it happened around 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning. They were dispatched to the area of Queen Street for the call.

When they arrived, they saw a 64-year-old Chatham man yelling obscenities. Because of his high level of intoxication, officers believed he was unable to care for himself and took him into custody for his own safety.

He was charged with being intoxicated in a public place and released once sober.
