A man from Red Oak was arrested Monday afternoon, on a charge of Public Intoxication. Authorities say Red Oak Police observed 51-year old Larry Eugene Hall being helped-up by citizens in the vicinity of N. 2nd and E. Washington Streets, at around 3:20-p.m.  The officers then saw Hall fall down several times while trying to stand up.

As they spoke with the man, officers detected an odor of alcohol coming from him, and that he had blood shot, watery eyes. He admitted to having a few drinks, and that it was just catching up to him. Hall refused consent for a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) and  was transported to the Montgomery County Jail, where his bond was set at $300.
