A man who fell asleep face down in his food Friday night at a Putnam County restaurant got a rude awakening when police tapped on his shoulder, according to a the Cookeville Herald Citizen."You ain't Garfield, beauzeau."
Restaurant staff at the Hardee's on Hickory Avenue in Cookeville, TN, called police after Bratten Hale Cook III, 32, fell asleep with his face planted in a plate of frites, as the French say, and ketchup.
Must have been a mess.
Workers said Cook been dormant for about an hour.
"Zzzzzz..."
Police said when they woke up Cook, he was so smashed he started eating his fries and didn't acknowledge the officers.
And must have wondered why they were cold.
Officers took Cook outside the restaurant and charged him with public intoxication.
"Book 'im!"
Cook received even more charges after police searched him and found poison hemp and prescription pills in his pocketses.
Oops...
Cook was taken to Putnam County Jail. His court date is set for April 5.
