40-year-old Rhys Thomas was seen being kicked out of Canvas Lounge on July 12th. Employees at the bar told officers that he was trying to re-enter the bar after he was removed. Employees also said that Thomas attempted to get into someone else car, thinking it was his. When officers made contact and spoke with Thomas, they observed the smell of alcohol coming from him. Thomas, showing signs of intoxication, could not tell officers where he was. Thomas told officers he was on James Robertson Parkway while on Fatherland Street. While officers handcuffed Thomas, he had to lean on them because he couldn’t keep his balance. Officers then deemed Thomas unable to care for himself. Thomas was then taken into custody and charged with public intoxication on July 13th.
