Officers at Pershing and Maple handcuffed a man they spotted trying to pick up a facially bruised and bleeding woman from the ground. The man said they were married and had been out drinking and she fell and injured herself. The woman confirmed this. Both were extremely intoxicated. The husband told police that before they showed up, he had spent about an hour trying to prop the wife up enough to get her inside their residence, obviously without success. The woman was treated for her injuries at MacNeal.
