Arkansas City police and EMS were at Brick’s restaurant early Friday and found four men under the influence of prescription drugs and marijuana, Ark City police Capt. Tom Scott said.
Around 7:40 a.m., officers received reports that four unresponsive men were at the restaurant. After speaking with the men ? one of whom was inside the restaurant, while the other three were in a vehicle parked outside ? police determined they were under the influence of narcotics.
While trying to determine what drugs had been taken, police found a pill bottle of Alprazolam, a drug known best commercially as Xanax. Ark City authorities contacted Winfield police who said the pill bottle was taken in a burglary earlier in the morning.
Eventually, the men at Brick’s acknowledged taking the pills and smoking marijuana. All four were checked by medical personnel but declined to be taken to a hospital.
Andrew Cushenberry was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Darren Miller was arrested for possession of stolen property.
The two men were taken to the Cowley County Jail.
The two other men were allowed to leave and were not named because they were not arrested.
