Police were patrolling the post-parade crowds, when they saw the defendant fall to the ground on Montauk Highway at about 5:30 p.m. The woman, who was intoxicated according to police, was unable to stand on her own, even with the help of a man who was with her. Police asked her name, and she allegedly lied about it. Taken to police headquarters, she was uncooperative and refused to comply with directions, leading to three officers having to subdue her, according to a report. She was held overnight for arraignment, she was released on her own recognizance.
