BEDFORD – A Bedford man was arrested after Bedford Police officers responded Saturday, May 27 to a report of a suspicious male in front of the Department of Child Services at 659 X Street.
Police arrested 43-year-old Daniel Sorrells, of Bedford, on charges of public intoxication, unauthorized entry to a vehicle, and criminal mischief.
The male caller reported he was at Apron Strings restaurant and saw a male attempting to get into vehicles in the parking lot in front of the DCS office and Apron Springs restaurant. The caller then reported the male was urinating in a vehicle.
When police arrived they were directed to a vehicle by a bystander and found Sorrels standing next to a black Cadillac with the door open. The male was bent over and urinating in the vehicle.
Officers recognized Sorrells from an earlier incident reported at Walmart.
