I'm almost speechless by this guy's actions today. I wasn't even on the clock, I just went in to pick up some groceries. When I walked up, I saw one of the assistant managers outside watching a guy parked in a handicapped spot (with the right handicapped plates). She asked me if I knew the non-emergency number for the police dept and filled me in on what happened.
Turns out the guy had been in the store, then sat down on one of the register scales and started pigging out on stuff he hadn't even paid for, and yelling at people. The manager asked him to quiet down and please pay for his items, then he's welcome to sit in the seating area. Instead, captain intelligent stumbled into the bakery and began yelling at the bakery employees.
He was told to leave the store immediately - he went out, got in his car, and proceeded to .. sit there. 92 degrees in the shade (yeah, it's fall, but it's also Texas), in a black Mercedes, with the windows up and no a/c running (engine wasn't even on). This is about the time I walked up and asked what was going on. One of the managers was on the phone with the police. This is when I sat down outside and waited for the fireworks to start.
At one point, he got out of his car, opened a pill bottle, dumped at least 5 pills in his hand and ate them. He started to stumble back up to the store, turned around, and got back in his car. I saw him nod off several times, then wake back up. When the police showed up, he jumped out of his car and started to walk into the store. Well, stumble is more like it. He had PLENTY of opportunity to leave before the police showed up - he'd been in his car about 15 minutes (10 minutes when I showed up).
If you didn't know this, cops really hate when you walk off and ignore them. No scuffle, but he got chewed out pretty good by the cops and ordered to sit down in his car and stay put.
I gave up on the fireworks, went inside and did my shopping. Came back out and Mr Douche is in the back of a squad car, with an ambulance pulling up since he wouldn't tell the police how many of whatever pill he took. I'm not quite sure what he's being charged with, but he was definitely arrested. I'm sure trespassing will be one charge, since he was told to leave the property and refused. Probably public intoxication as well. And his nice shiny Mercedes will be towed off the property.
Don't let the handicapped part fool you - the guy wasn't exactly an old codger (probably late 40s), and could obviously walk fine, aside from being very intoxicated (not on alcohol).
One thing that cracked me up though, one of the frontend supervisors told me she thought he was on acid. I mentioned to her I've done more than my share of acid in the past (it's been 7 1/2 years since I touched it, so shush) and I was almost positive he wasn't on any hallucinogens. Personally I think he was probably on enough benzos (valium/xanax/etc) to stop an elephant - if you take enough of those at once, you're guaranteed to be fucked out of your skull and won't exactly be rational.
Another thing that made me laugh - customers started asking another store manager (who was outside by the time I was leaving) what was going on. He just smiled and said the guy did something very stupid. They kept pressing for details, and all he would say is the guy did something stupid.

We may or may not have taken it recreationally. It's like having dreams when you're awake, I couldn't believe you could actually get a prescription for that stuff!
