A man was arrested for public intoxication after Summerville Police responded to a report of a man allegedly cursing at people while walking along a city street.

According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, Officer Ibzan Ramirez was dispatched to 215 State Street on September 9. When the officer arrived, he reported seeing a man walking on State Street toward Hawkins Drive.

Police identified the man as Fernando Powell. According to the report, Powell gave unclear answers when asked what was going on and said he was walking to his aunt’s residence.

The officer reported detecting an odor of alcohol coming from Powell’s breath and said Powell had bloodshot and watery eyes, a strong odor of alcohol and slurred speech. Police also reported that he was unsteady while standing and walking.

A Summerville man was arrested Saturday night following an incident where a vehicle was damaged by thrown rocks on Martin Street. According to a police report, officers responded to a call at approximately 10:24 PM on March 29, 2025, after Ashley Fowler reported her vehicle had been struck by rocks. Ms. Fowler told police that while driving past 1022 Martin Street, she was confronted by members of the Caldwell family. She alleged that a woman wearing a pink shirt threw a rock that struck and damaged her front windshield. Furthermore, she stated that a shirtless male subject struck and shattered the rear window of her vehicle. Passengers in Ms. Fowler’s vehicle corroborated her account, identifying Jacob Caldwell and Sinclaire Snowden as the individuals responsible for the damage. Police then made contact with Caldwell and Snowden at 1022 Martin Street. Caldwell reportedly denied damaging the vehicle but stated he was willing to take the blame as long as Snowden was not taken into custody. Jacob Caldwell was subsequently arrested and transported to the Chattooga County Jail without incident.
