A 63-year-old man was arrested after Chattooga County deputies responded to a disturbance at Lucky’s in Menlo, where employees reported an intoxicated man yelling at customers and causing problems inside the store.
According to a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office incident report, deputies were called to Lucky’s at 7880 Highway 48 on September 16 in reference to an intoxicated male.
When deputies arrived, they encountered Lloyd Christopher Crabb, 63, outside the store. The report states Crabb appeared to be intoxicated and was having difficulty maintaining his balance.
Employees told deputies they had called 911 because of Crabb’s behavior inside Lucky’s. They reported that he appeared intoxicated and was yelling at customers and using vulgar language.
The store manager told deputies that Crabb had also allegedly been offering pills to customers. The report states that a female employee working at the cash register had run from Crabb during the incident.
While deputies were speaking with Crabb, the report says he continued talking loudly and at one point raised his voice inside the store as customers were entering and leaving.
Crabb was taken into custody, and a deputy reported smelling a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him.
