Taylor saw Curtis Nicholas riding a bicycle and suspected he was drunk because Nicholas was unsteady on his bicycle and fell off when he hit the curb, damaging the front tire. When the officers stopped to check on him, they noticed a pair of bolt cutters in his left hand. When Nicholas was ordered to stop, he tried to get on the damaged bicycle and flee, but couldn’t because of the damaged front wheel. Nicholas then fled on foot, east on College Street. He was apprehended shortly after while trying to hide in a wooded area behind a row of town houses on the 1900 block of College Street. A second bicycle was found abandoned about 100 yards north on Gregg Street. Nicholas said he had an accomplice who had taken that bicycle, but had apparently fled at the sight of officers. A check of the area didn’t turn up the second person. Nicholas was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct; police said he was being loud and boisterous in a public place and he smelled like alcohol. A search revealed several items possibly related to the use of crack cocaine. Nicholas said he had just finished smoking crack rock and now had none in his possession. A further check of the area by officer Nu Beza yielded two cut bicycle chains near the Capstone House bicycle rack. 0 DISORDERLY CONDUCT, PIG BARBECUE, 500 DEVINE ST. Reporting officer E.R.
