Intoxicated man arrested on his way to jail


web posted November 3, 2009
HERE’S YOUR CARD – Our most recent Here’s Your Card nominee hails from Johnston and earned his nomination on Friday evening. As a deputy was at the Edgefield County Law Enforcement center he noticed a man “stumbling down the hill from the courthouse towards the jail”. The location was handy because not only was that were he ended up, but it also was where he was heading.

As the deputy approached the man, who was later identified ay 49-year-old Michael Butler of Johnston, a strong odor of alcohol was present about his body and he appeared to have wet his pants in the process. According to incident reports, Mr. Butler told the deputy he was coming to turn himself in to the jail where he is serving weekends for a previous conviction.

Due to Butler’s highly intoxicated state, he was helped to the jail and summarily charged with another offence, disorderly conduct for public drunk.

For some reason the whole situation seemed eerily reminiscent of Otis of Mayberry walking in the jail drunk and locking himself up to sleep it off. 

No court date for the most recent charge was available.
