Man asks officers to go to jail

A 34-year-old man was handcuffed and remanded to the IU Health Bloomington Hospital for a mental evaluation around 10 p.m. Sunday, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said.

BPD had received a call regarding an intoxicated person causing a disturbance inside of the Video Saloon on 105 W. 7th St., and officers were dispatched to the location.

When they arrived, they were flagged down by a man on the sidewalk who informed them that he wanted to go to jail, according to the report.

When asked if he had committed any crimes, he said no.

He advised officers that he wasn’t suicidal, but that he was homicidal, Sgt. Crider said.

The man said he was willing to get into a fight so that he could go to jail.

He also told officers that he was upset with Kilroy’s and that he had intentions of buying a gun.

No crimes were committed in the incident, according to the report.
