Deputy, I got here in the Redbox

A Hamilton man who apparently had too much holiday cheer was found passed out early Thanksgiving morning on the toilet in the bathroom of a New Miami gas station then insisted he had arrived in a movie rental machine.

Butler County sheriff’s deputies were called to Thornton’s on U.S. 127 about 1:25 a.m. Thursday by a clerk who said she found Austin Michael Jones passed out in the men’s restroom.

While deputies were in route, Jones woke up and made his way to the parking lot where he laid down in the back seat of a customer’s car, according to a sheriff’s report.

Deputy William Brown said Jones was highly intoxicated and had difficulty speaking, but insisted that the Redbox kiosk located outside the store was how he arrived.

“He was asked how he got to the store, when he pointed to the Redbox and stated that brought him. He was asked where he came from, with him again stating the Redbox brought him to the store,” Brown said in his report.

Jones, 22, of South Wichita Drive, was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to the Butler County Jail. He pleaded no contest to the charge Monday in Hamilton Municipal Court and was found guilty by Judge Dan Gattermeyer who gave him a $125 fine.
