Mount Pleasant Police report a series of incidents over multiple days that led to the arrest of one individual on several charges.
According to police, the incidents began late April 13th, when Andrew Corleone Ficklin allegedly called 911 around 10:20 p.m. asking about promoting shows at the West Side Tavern. Officials say the business had no knowledge of him or any scheduled events. A short time later, he reportedly called 911 again, this time complaining of back pain.
Police say the situation continued the following day. On the morning of April 14th, Ficklin was reported loitering in the lobby of the AmericInn, where he allegedly ate a breakfast valued at 15 dollars without paying. Staff told officers he claimed to know a representative of the Wyndham brand, but was unable to secure a room. He later left the building, leaving behind a bag.
Later that afternoon, authorities say Ficklin was at Mount Pleasant City Hall, where he was reportedly bothering staff about hosting promotional events. He allegedly distributed flyers claiming he had rented the Belle Center for a clothing launch and was selling 100-dollar tickets through a QR code. The owner of the Belle Center told police no such rental agreement existed and that Ficklin was not authorized to be there.
Police say Ficklin continued to contact 911 multiple times, including another call the evening of April 14th regarding a location change for the alleged event. He was warned at that time about misuse of emergency services.
On April 15th, officers responded to additional calls, including a request for a ride to the hospital. Later that morning, hospital staff reported Ficklin had been discharged but refused to leave. He was eventually trespassed from both the hospital and the AmericInn.
Despite that warning, police say Ficklin returned to the AmericInn around 11:30 a.m., where he allegedly argued with staff. Officers later located him at the Super 8 motel, where he was taken into custody.
Ficklin now faces multiple charges, including trespass, misuse of emergency communications, fifth-degree theft, and deceptive practices.
