The officers noticed that Peterson had watery eyes, slurred speech, and smelled of alcohol. They called an ambulance to the scene and questioned Peterson, who stated that the current president was Jesus Christ and Obama. Peterson refused medical care and claimed to live at the building but provided an address at Music Square West. The officers concluded that Peterson was unable to care for himself, so they took him into custody for public intoxication.
