ATHENS, Ga. — An Athens-Clarke County police officer had a tough choice last week. Get free tacos for life or arrest a drunk 21-year-old.

When the cop told the 21-year-old to walk on the sidewalk, he kept walking in the road, so the officer grabbed him by the arm and began writing him a ticket.

The man then yelled an insult at the officer, so the officer placed him under arrest for his “loud, boisterous and unbecoming behavior.”
