35-year-old James Greenway called for police assistance multiple times on August 31st. Officers were dispatched to the Clarion Hotel on North 1st Street for a prisoner transport request. Upon arrival, the police were notified by other officers that Greenway had contacted them earlier in the night. They stated that Greenway was given a courtesy ride because he was intoxicated and did not want to go to jail. Then, officers said that Greenway had called 911 three times after the initial transport, telling them he didn’t know where to go.
