When deputies arrived, Christine Yates White, 60, of East View Terrace SE in Cartersville, was lying in front of a vehicle at a Penny Lane home. She smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and could not keep her balance very well, a deputy wrote in the report.
A man who had called 911 told deputies White "had been knocking on his front door for several minutes when he finally answered." He said White "began asking for 'pot, alcohol, and pills,'" according to the report.
White, who tried to walk away several times while talking to police, said she was looking for her boyfriend. She was arrested on prowling and disorderly conduct charges.
