Pamela Clawson found lying on sidewalk near Harding Place, tells police she “took a painkiller”

59-year-old Pamela Clawson was observed lying on the sidewalk near Harding Place and Antioch Pike in the early hours of July 18th. After noticing this, officers stopped and conducted a welfare check on her. During the check, Clawson showed signs of intoxication. When officers spoke with her, Clawson provided a nonsensical story. Officers then called an ambulance for her, but she refused all medical attention. Clawson admitted to a firefighter that she “took a painkiller.” Clawson was then taken into custody for public intoxication.
