A man told police he got into an argument the previous night after a man woke him up sleeping on the sidewalk at 736 Market St. He believes the man sitting in the other set of bus stop seats is the guy. He didn’t want him to be around him. The officer spoke to the man pointed out, and he said he wasn’t around there the previous day at any time. He also mentioned that he has never seen the first man before now. Police attempted to watch camera footage at the time and area given. The camera at Truist Bank does not cover the area the man said that he was sleeping in. The officer explained to the man he is not supposed to be sleeping at the bank. One of many reasons is someone might need to use the bank machine and avoid it due to him lying around. Also, the seats are for public use, and, if he can sit here every day, this guy has the same right. He said he understood.
