DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Police arrested a 36-year-old Atlanta man around 8 p.m. Feb. 25 for blocking traffic at Ashford Dunwoody Road and Ashford Parkway.
Officers said they think the suspect, later identified as James Spann, was the same person cited in multiple calls from the area about a male acting erratically.
When officers arrived, they found Spann standing in the intersection and yelling at various vehicles.
Spann said he was intoxicated and cooperated with officers at the scene.
Officers found three active warrants for Spann out of Fulton County, Sandy Springs and Marietta.
They said the charges against Spann include family violence battery, obstruction and drug possession.
During a search, officers found Xanax pills and a marijuana pipe in the suspect’s possession.
Officers said Spann admitted to buying the pills on the street without a prescription.
Spann denied taking Xanax before the altercation after he admitted to using it earlier, officers said.
Police charged Spann with possession of a drug-related object and a schedule IV-controlled substance.
A DeKalb County Magistrate Court judge reviewed and signed off on the warrants.
Officers transported Spann to the DeKalb County Jail.
