You are right on the dog as far as this fellow.
02:22
He is highly intoxicated.
02:24
They're almost unable to stand at this point.
02:27
I've tried to ask him if I could potentially give him a ride to his residence to get him off the roadway. He's refusing help at this point and fine, however.
02:37
Okay.
02:39
Do you think you need some medical evaluation?
02:46
Probably would not hurt.
02:48
Just due to his intoxicated state, he was fairly even able to take his step forward and he's currently using a mailbox along the roadway for support.
03:00
Okay.
03:02
It's your call.
03:03
If I would, you may try and strongly convince him to take the ride home or be checked out by EMS,
03:12
lest he may potentially end up with a citation for obstructing the flow of traffic if you think it's necessary to get him back home.
03:25
My chief concern is with his inability to walk and dark clothing, I didn't want to see him fall in front of a passing vehicle.
03:35
Okay, ten-four.
