One passerby told the cops he
had seen him 30 min. before in the same state. The lights were on, his
feet were on the pedals and he had clearly tried to pull away from the
curb, but the hood was cool, suggesting that it had stalled out (manual
trans) some time ago. The cops found prescription painkillers in his car
with his name on the bottles but no illegal drugs so they didn't arrest
him. Medics were going to take him to the hospital. Eileen and I
wondered why he had gone out in a t-shirt with all those needle marks.
While we were waiting for the cops, his phone rang. It showed the name
of Jess. We tried calling her back in case he had a true medical
condition like epilepsy, but the phone was locked. In the car the cops
found an envelope with the name Jessica on it. Probably his girlfriend.
Wonder if he was on his way to pick her up from somewhere and didn't
expect to be seen by many/anyone. Since he had apparently been passed
out for some time she had probably called wondering where he was.
It seemed worthy to this editor...
