On 07/29/2012 at around 1450hrs CPL. Snyder made contact with two subjects who were sitting on the south side of Carroll Creek under the mural bridge within Carroll Creek Linear Park. Upon making contact he could not determine if the subjects had alcohol. He advised both of them that if they had alcohol that City ordinance did not allow for alcohol in City Parks. CPL. Snyder further advised both subjects, that if they were caught with alcoholic beverages in the future that they would be arrested.
CPL. Snyder then left the area and returned around 1517hrs where both subjects were still sitting in the same location. CPL. Snyder pulled up on them on his Segway and observed Mr. Caudill put down a 24oz. can of Milwaukee`s Best Ice Beer. Upon observing Mr. Caudill put the beer down, CPL Snyder then asked him stand up when he was then placed under arrest. for possession of an alcoholic beverage within a City Park.
