On the night of St. Patrick's Day officers encountered a 34-year-old man on Castro Street under the influence of alcohol. They gave him a ride to his residence in the 800 block of Central Ave. and told him to go inside, but he refused. He was advised that if he refused to go inside he would be arrested for public drunkenness, at which point he demanded to be arrested. When the officers told him to turn around so they could put the handcuffs on, he resisted arrest. He was taken into custody for being drunk in public and booked into the San Jose Main Jail.
