Summerville Police received a call on Tuesday morning before 6 AM about a woman standing in the street screaming on Northwest Congress Street.

When police arrived on the scene and spoke with the complainant they discovered that the woman had come to the complainant’s house about getting money to buy children’s underwear.  Officers found the woman in question walking on Orchard Road.

The suspect told officers that she regularly drinks “one to two gallons of vodka” each day.  The woman also said she had a marijuana “roach” in her residence.  She said she told the officers about the marijuana because she “wanted to do the right thing.” Officers said that the woman was highly intoxicated and was in danger being on the street.

Forty-one-year-old Andrea Diane Blackmon was placed under arrest for public intoxication and booked into the Chattooga County jail.  Officers did not charge Blackmon for the marijuana and said she was very cooperative with police during her arrest.
