Officers report much of Madison Street is iced over and dangerous.
District One (North Clarksville) officers describe Fort Campbell Boulevard as “unsafe and nasty.” Officers making custodial arrests are having to park and walk their prisoners to the jail because the ramp to the booking office is completely iced over.
Officers were dispatched at about 8:30pm to the Fort Campbell Boulevard Wal-Mart for a reportedly intoxicated individual causing a disturbance and insisting store employees drive him home because of the weather. Officers arrested the man for public intoxication and transported him to jail.
