According to the Bellefontaine Police Department, the first incident happened Friday around 9:35 p.m.
Officers were called to a business at 301 West Chillicothe Avenue after a report that Wesley Bickle was intoxicated and hitting a vehicle.
A witness told officers Bickle was yelling and striking her car.
Bickle showed several signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and difficulty maintaining his balance.
He initially denied hitting the vehicle but later acknowledged his elbow had made contact with it.
Another witness confirmed seeing the incident and pointed out the damage.
The woman also told officers Bickle had yelled racial slurs and other insults at her during the confrontation.
She later reported that Bickle warned her she would be sorry if he went to jail over the incident.
Officers found two full bottles of liquor in Bickle’s grocery bag.
He was arrested and taken to the Logan County Jail on a disorderly conduct charge.
Bickle was arrested Saturday afternoon again after another disturbance on West Chillicothe Avenue.
Officers were called around 4:10 p.m. to the 400 block of West Chillicothe after a report that a man had followed a juvenile home, pushed the juvenile’s boyfriend, and refused to leave.
The caller also reported that the man was asking children for money and cigarettes and yelling at passing vehicles.
Officers again identified the man as Bickle and reported several signs of intoxication.
During the investigation, Bickle struggled to follow instructions during field sobriety testing and briefly resisted when officers attempted to arrest him.
A search uncovered a small amount of marijuana inside an empty cigarette pack.
Bickle was transported to the Logan County Jail and booked on another disorderly conduct charge.
According to police, Bickle has at least three prior disorderly conduct charges under the same section of Ohio law, elevating the latest charge to a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
