Police saw a drunken man sitting in a chair in the middle of the 400 block of South Lewis Street about 1 a.m. Friday.

When asked what he was doing, the man said he was “tired of sitting on his porch,” so he decided to sit in the street. Officers attempted to get him to move, saying if he was found in the street again he would be taken to jail.

The man said, “I don’t give a damn,” was handcuffed and charged with being a pedestrian under the influence.
