Officers were dispatched to Tri-Link Storage, 401 Water Ave., in reference to an intoxicated pedestrian. Dispatchers were advised it was the suspect walking around inside the fenced-in storage facility.

Upon their arrival, officers observed a pickup truck backed into an unlit area of the property.

The engine was turned off and officers found the suspect sitting inside the truck smoking a cigarette. Sheeley told police he was homeless and living in his truck.

Signs of impairment were observed, as officers reported a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from Sheeley.

Officers contacted the suspect’s probation officer, who advised Sheeley should be lodged for violating terms of his probation.

The pickup truck was released to a sober person and Sheeley was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
