Drunk man, trespassing, is arrested

A drunk man who was caught trespassing on Bud and Mary’s Marina property after curfew was arrested after he lied to officers and could not explain why he was wandering around in the area.

A security guard at the marina called the Sheriff’s Office just before 1 a.m. after he encountered 46 year old Gregory Pope of Tavernier stumbling around the property. Pope was belligerent to the guard and subsequently belligerent to responding deputies.

Sheriff’s deputies on scene attempted to find out what he was doing there and where he lived. Pope was uncooperative and replied with obscene comments. When deputies asked where he lived, e gave two different streets, but could not provide street numbers. When deputies asked him to leave the property, he refused obscenely and became aggressive towards the officers.

When they could not ascertain where he was staying or what he was doing there, and when the property owner said no one was authorized to be on the property, Pope was arrested. He was charged with trespassing and violating curfew and he was taken to jail.
