On 10/18/2025 at approximately 1843 hours, while in uniform driving a marked patrol vehicle, Dispatch sent me to Chic-fil-A (2111 E. Victory Dr.) for an INTOXICATED SUBJECT call.

According to Dispatch, the Reporting Party advised there was an intoxicated customer out on the patio.

Initial Contact

When I arrived, I observed Mr. KEVIS M. ORR sleeping in a chair with his head leaning backward. A store manager approached and informed me Mr. ORR entered the store and purchased food which he gave to multiple friends that were accompanying him but were no longer present. After giving the food to the friends, the male walked out to the patio, fell to the ground, then sat where I observed him and passed out. The manager indicated that he did not want to file charges; he just wanted to ensure that Mr. ORR was safe. The manager also said that Mr. ORR believed that he was still waiting for the food that he had already received.

Signs of Intoxication

After waking him up, it was immediately apparent he was under the influence of some substance. I did not smell the odor of alcoholic beverages, but Mr. ORR was slurring his words, speaking in incoherent phrases, and had difficulty processing what was said to him. He struggled when attempting to stand, fell against a table multiple times, and continuously swaggered once he was on his feet. Mr. ORR also had difficulty keeping his eyes open. When asked for his phone number, he could not recall it then began searching for his phone but could not find it. I asked him where he lived, and he initially told me on the Southside, but he gave me an address on La Roche Ave. (minutes away and well inside the Eastside Precinct). He told me that he had a ride coming for him that was approximately 10 minutes away.

Community Caretaking

Due to what appeared to be extreme intoxication, likely from a mixture of substances, I requested Chatham EMS to the scene. Mr. ORR was detained in accordance with the Community Caretaking Doctrine as outline in Cady v. Dombrowski and Winters v. Adams.

After telling Mr. ORR that the business did not want to file charges, they only wanted him to leave, he stated that he was still waiting for his food. When I told him that he had already received his food, he became confused. I reiterated that the business did not want to file charges against him, but that he needed to leave, and I could not let him roam the street for safety concerns given his high level of intoxication, his inability to walk, and his reduced mental faculties. I advised him that EMS was coming and afterwards I could give him a ride home; he declined.

The manager agreed to give Mr. ORR food to persuade him to let me take him home; Mr. ORR subsequently agreed to the ride home. He had difficulty eating the food without dropping it; he also spilled sauce on his legs in multiple places. While waiting for EMS, I contacted his aunt, Ms. [REDACTED], and she informed me that she was on the way to get Mr. ORR and take him to the hospital. Before her arrival, Mr. ORR attempted to walk away multiple times.

Disorderly Conduct

Once his aunt arrived, Mr. ORR began to act disorderly. When she asked if he was good, Mr. ORR responded, “What the f*ck you worrying about me for?” She told him that she was going to take him to the hospital, and he responded, “I ain’t going to no f*cking hospital.” I retrieved some water for Mr. ORR at the request of his aunt. When his aunt attempted to get him to sit down and drink the water because she was on his feet slumping to the rear, she responded, “I ain’t drinking no f*cking water.” Mr. ORR then stood directly in front of his aunt and began raising his voice. She told him that he was going to go to jail, and he responded, “I don’t give no f*ck about no jail!”

Once I noticed Mr. ORR’s increased level of combativeness and hostility in the presence of a family member who was attempting to help him, I told his aunt to take him before things got worse. When his aunt asked if he wanted to go to the hospital in an Uber instead of the ambulance, he responded, “I’m not going nowhere bruh.” His aunt told him to listen to her, or the police were going to arrest him, he yelled “I’m only going to be there for a couple of hours…I’m going to f*cking bond! I’m sober, what the f*ck! Get the f*ck out my face cuz!” His aunt called Mr. ORR’s grandmother to help calm him down. He leaned in to within a few inches of his aunt’s face and yelled, “she’s overexaggerating!”

I told Mr. ORR to “bring it down” but he responded, “Nah! I don’t want to hear that sh*t!” He then told his aunt to “shut the f*ck up!” and attempted to walk away; Ofc Dillard stopped. Mr. ORR then began yelling at Ofc Dillard. I told Mr. ORR in calm, soft tone to “listen to me and bring it down.” I let Mr. ORR’s aunt know that his behavior was reaching a threshold that would require law enforcement action.

Mr. ORR requested to speak with a supervisor. His aunt told him that police were about to rest him if he continued behaving disorderly. He responded “shut up! I don’t care!” He then said to her, “get the f*ck out my face!” Mr. ORR continued yelling at his aunt claiming that police never told him EMS was coming. I attempted a few more times to get Mr. ORR to calm down by warning him that his behavior was going to get him arrested. He ignored those warnings and continued yelling and cursing at his aunt then getting in her face and pointing his finger at her.

Because of his increased level of aggression toward his aunt, Mr. ORR was placed in handcuffs. At this point, it became apparent that he was going to continue to be disorderly and his behavior had crossed the threshold to take law enforcement action. I tried one final time to persuade him to calm down but he did not comply.

Probable Cause for Arrest

The following facts and circumstances led me to reasonably believe Mr. ORR committed the following OCGA offenses:

Public Drunkenness {16-10-41}

• He displayed multiple signs of intoxication, which included loud profanity, outside of a public restaurant.
• He refused to stop using loud profanity after receiving multiple warnings from law enforcement.

Disorderly Conduct {16-10-39}

• He acted in a violent and tumultuous manner by getting in the face and using fighting words toward a family member attempting to help him.

Conclusion

Sgt Foraker and Sgt Farmer responded to the scene and spoke with Mr. ORR. Ofc Dillard conducted a Search Incident to Arrest. A plastic baggie filled with 2 g of Green Leafy Material (GLM) was discovered on Mr. ORR; it field-tested positive for Cannabis. I logged it into the Savannah Police Property Room as Evidence.

Mr. ORR received an additional charge for Possession of Marijuana – Less than 1 oz. {16-13-30(j)}. I transported him to Memorial Hospital for medical evaluation prior to booking him into the Chatham County Detention Center. Mr. ORR remained disorderly during the entire transport. He made a spontaneous utterance that we took a bottle of pills from him during the search; no such bottle was located. He further uttered that the bottle contained $500 in US currency.
