39-year-old Tristan Becker was seen publicly intoxicated near Friends in Low Places bar and the Police Precinct on Broadway on July 6th. Officers responded to the area of the bar regarding an assault about a vehicle incident that occurred on another part of the Broadway strip. Officers were informed that initially, the incident may have happened near the Friends in Low Places Bar and then the Police Precinct. Officers made contact with Becker in front of the Precinct. Officers then noticed the smell of alcohol coming from his breath as well as his bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech, and inability to walk. In addition to this, Becker admitted to officers that he was drunk. While officers attempted to speak with Becker about the incident, he became argumentative. Becker began insulting officers, as well as talking about irrelevant topics, such as accusing officers of voting for Obama, mentioning George Floyd, and speaking about UFC fighters. Becker did not know where the situation occurred and changed the location several times when he tried to provide officers with a statement.
Becker told officers that he was dragged 200 feet by a vehicle on a crowded Broadway Street; however, there were no witnesses to this statement as it was false. Officers then asked Becker if he would like to make a report. Becker began insulting and interrupting officers during the process. Becker then gave his ID to officers to make a report. After this, Becker proceeded to walk away shortly after telling officers he didn’t want his ID back and that he no longer needed police services. Officers attempted to give him his ID back, but he wandered off aimlessly. Officers then determined he was too intoxicated for his own safety, so he was taken into custody for public intoxication. Officers made contact with the other party involved, who told officers that he was driving slowly through traffic on Broadway. The man said he saw Becker crossing the sidewalk, and Becker became angry at him. Proceeding this, Becker walked up to his car, banged on it, approached the driver’s side window, and cursed at him. The driver then claims that Becker then reached into his vehicle and attempted to punch him, causing him to flee the scene to avoid conflict. For these reasons, Becker was then transported and charged with public intoxication
