Wardrobe Malfunction: Drunk staggers into police station, gets locked up and almost loses pants… [Video]
Hyannis – Sounds like a botched joke… A drunk wearing a FBI cap staggered into the downtown Barnstable Police Substation this afternoon and it didn’t go well.
At approximately 2:30pm approximately 5 squad cars responded to the Main Street substation after an off-duty officer called dispatch.
The middle-aged man was taken into protective custody and almost lost his pants while being walked out to an awaiting cruiser for transport back to police headquarters. Officers kindly assisted him with recovering his trousers. The following is video footage of the wardrobe malfunction… [Press play]
Hyannis News was unable to confirm whether today's drunk was or wasn't an actual employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation...

Police made a couple of quick arrests on the same block just after the 4pm shift change.
According to witnesses and police radio traffic, Barnstable Police arrested a 20-year-old man this afternoon for receiving stolen property.
Two squad cars responded to the Seven-Eleven on North Street for a report of a tug-of-war and altercation over a bicycle.
The owner of the bicycle confronted a man as he drove into the Seven-Eleven parking lot on what appeared to be his stolen bike.
According to police radio chatter, the man riding the stolen bike was named Matthew Sweeney and has had several run-ins with police in recent weeks... however, due to possible restrictions in his authority and discretion to release information, Sergeant Kevin Tynan was unable to take less than 10 seconds to confirm the aforementioned information nearly 3 hours after the arrest.
… but I digress.
Just after the arrest in the Seven-Eleven parking lot, officers responded the neighboring Burger King to assist plainclothes Officer Blondin with an arrest related to traffic offenses.
Hyannis News will provide updates as they become available.
