Drunk man calls police to help him out of bar
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Drunk in a bar and can’t get out, who you gonna call? Police. That’s what Todd Fitzwater did in Lexington. WLEX-TV reported Fitzwater called 911 Thursday and said he’d gotten drunk and passed out at Todd’s Karaoke Bar the night before, awakened and had a few more — then couldn’t get out of the bar, which was closed.
Officers tapped on the door Thursday afternoon to guide the 45-year-old Fitzwater to it so he could let them in to help him.
The bar owner said Fitzwater is a “regular” who lives nearby. The barkeep stayed with him until 7:30 a.m. Thursday, then left figuring Fitzwater would eventually let himself out and go home.
