A Chicago man is facing charges after an incident late Saturday night in Mount Pleasant.
According to the Mount Pleasant Police Department, officers were called to a home in the 400 block of West Park Avenue around 10:32 p.m. on April 4th after a homeowner reported an unknown man sitting on the front porch.
When officers arrived, they found 29-year-old Jesus Alfonzo Castellanos Perez at the residence. The homeowner told police he did not know the man.
An investigation determined the suspect had been at a local tavern earlier in the evening and left on foot, attempting to walk home. However, police say he became disoriented and was unable to find his residence.
Officers reported a strong odor of alcohol and observed that the man had red, watery eyes. He admitted to drinking, and a preliminary breath test showed a blood alcohol content of .253 percent—more than three times the legal limit.
Castellanos Perez was taken into custody following the incident.
