Golfer Daly held in Winston-Salem to sober up
WINSTON-SALEM - Golfer John Daly was held in custody Sunday after police said he was found intoxicated at a restaurant in Winston-Salem.
Police officers were called at 2:17 a.m. to the Hooters at 120 Hanes Square Circle for a medical call. When officers arrived, Daly, who had earlier lost consciousness, was being treated by EMS.
Daly "appeared extremely intoxicated and uncooperative," police stated in a news release. Daly repeatedly refused to be escorted to the hospital and was eventually asked to leave the restaurant by workers there.
Because Daly did not have another means of transportation and his level of intoxication, officers placed him in custody for a 24-hour sober up.
Daly was taken to the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center, where he was processed and left in the custody of jail personnel. He was later released.
State law allows police to assist somebody found intoxicated in a public place by taking that person to a city or county jail. The intoxicated person may be detained at the jail only until he becomes sober or for a maximum of 24 hours.
