41-year-old Wesley Leon Musser walked to police officers, placed his arms behind his back, and stated, “Just go ahead and take me to jail,” at Nashville Rescue Mission around midnight on May 28th. When officers asked him what was going on, he said he was hungry, adding that he wanted to go to the Mental Health Co-Op but could not give them a valid reason. Officers noticed Musser showed reeked of alcohol, showed signs of impairment, and was making nonsensical statements. Officers asked if he had consumed any drugs or alcohol, to which he stated he “maybe had one beer.” Then, officers informed him that the Mental Health Co-Op would not take someone who was intoxicated. Musser said he wanted to go to the hospital, so officers called medics to the scene. However, when medics arrived, Musser started cussing at them and had become disorderly. Musser was then detained for the occurrence. Musser was taken into custody for criminal trespass and public intoxication.
