Man ‘too high’

AUSTINTOWN

Township police were called to a home Friday night because a man was “too high” after smoking marijuana.

According to a police report, authorities were called to the 100 block of Westminister Avenue about 5:20 p.m. Friday by a 22-year-old male who had smoked the drug. The officer who responded to the home could hear the man groaning from a room.

The officer then found the man lying “on the floor in the fetal position” and “surrounded by a plethora of Doritos, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish and Chips Ahoy cookies,” the report said. The man also told police he couldn’t feel his hands.

A glass pipe with marijuana residue, two packs of rolling papers, two roaches and a glass jar of marijuana were recovered from the man’s car after he gave the keys to police. The man declined medical treatment at the home Friday night.

Austintown police had not charged him as of Monday morning.
