[Anchor] It turns out a man who appeared to be merely intoxicated was actually caught using drugs.

[Reporter] Yes, an unexpected crime was uncovered while he was being placed under police protection following a citizen's report.

The incident began last month when a citizen discovered a man sitting on the street, appearing to be drunk, and reported him to the police.

The responding officers decided to take the man to the local police substation for protective measures, as he was unable to hold a normal conversation or steady himself.

However, the twist occurred during the identity verification process at the substation.

While checking his belongings to contact his family, officers discovered a suspicious syringe in his pocket and noticed he was holding an unidentified white powder in his hand.

A chemical analysis confirmed that the powder was methamphetamine.

Police re-searched the scene where the man was found and discovered additional marijuana, and he tested positive in a preliminary drug screening.

Ultimately, the man was arrested on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
