Unsocial security

10:50 a.m., 2000 block of Siesta Drive

Disturbance: When officers arrived at the Social Security office, an agitated man was outside the building attempting to control the situation. It was explained to him that the officer must first meet with the complainant before speaking with him.

The complainant, a manager, advised that the man entered the office and was greeted by the security personnel at the front door, which is standard protocol to maintain order and direct them to the proper person. 

When asked why he was there, the subject refused to respond in a concise manner. The subject then began yelling in the lobby, alarming the other customers. The manager said that from a far removed office he could hear the subject yelling. At that time the man was escorted out of the building and the door locked until law enforcement arrived. 

The agitated man told the officer he wanted to press charges against the security officers for battery, but was told that once he was told to leave and refused, they were within their rights to physically remove him. He further said that he didn't feel that they had the right to ask him any further questions beyond his original answer that he was there to visit the Social Security office.

With all details in hand, the man was issued a trespassing warning.

Stripped of her dignity

8:22 a.m., 2 Marina Plaza

Disturbance: Continuing a Cops Corner trend of late, officers responded to another case of a woman disrobing in public. It seems for no reason, other than alcohol being involved, a woman whose last name, ironically enough, is also that of a popular cocktail, had undressed or was undressing in the area of Marina Jack. 

Explaining that she had been out on an all-night drinking binge, she was found lying in the dirt against a tree, unable to care for herself. Given her condition, she was transported to Sarasota Memorial Hospital under the Marchman Act for further evaluation.

Driveway dilemma

7:03 p.m., 3600 block of Iroquois Drive

Civil dispute: Two houses with a shared two-car-wide driveway between them is a recipe for a dispute, and so it was when an officer responded to a woman who wanted to make a report and advise her landlord of an ongoing situation between the neighbors. She stated she had an issue with them parking on her side of the driveway and blocking her in. 

The officer noted that upon arrival the woman was parked on the opposite side of the driveway from her designated space.

Meanwhile, the neighbor told the officer that the woman has been banging on their door on multiple occasions, telling them to move their vehicle. He advised she has permission from the landlord to park in the space next to his residence. He added that there are constant issues with woman being aggressive toward his family and has random outbursts for unknown reasons.

This incident is civil in nature and no crime occurred.

Defiant drinker

7:42 p.m., 1400 block of Main Street

Trespassing: After creating a disturbance with passersby outside a popular downtown nightclub, a woman was asked to leave by staff. The woman stood up and, as a demonstration of her defiance, looked them in the eye and instead began to drink her “Papa’s Blue Ribbon” — as she called it — canned beer, which had to be taken away from her.

The woman, who produced a Wyoming driver’s license, was issued a civil citation and trespassing warning.
