Officers noticed he was intoxicated and tried assisting him in getting a taxi or rideshare, but he refused. He was with another individual, so officers allowed them both time to find a ride, but Perry’s phone died, causing him to get frustrated with his acquaintance, threatening him. Perry was deemed a danger to himself or others, so he was taken into custody for public intoxication.
