Plano police say charge dropped for 18-year-old arrested while walking home from work in the snow
Rodney Reese spent a night in jail after he was arrested for being in the street while walking home from work in icy conditions during last week's winter weather.
Plano’s police chief said he’s dropping the charge against Reese because it doesn’t fit what officers were called to investigate.
The 18-year-old was stopped by Plano PD officers while walking home from work at WalMart during the winter weather on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Police said someone called, concerned, that a Black male wearing a short-sleeve shirt was stumbling along the icy conditions. It was dispatched to officers as a welfare check.
Reese was arrested for walking in the street. The official charge was pedestrian in the roadway.
The high school student spent the night in jail.
