Man arrested after demanding hug

Ann Arbor Police say a drunken Superior Township man became disorderly when a police sergeant refused to hug him on Thursday.

Officers arrived to the area of Main and Ann streets at about 5 p.m. after people reported an intoxicated man yelling at people and walking in the streets. An officer guided the man from the middle of Ann Street, and the man said he would leave.

As he walked away, police said, the 44-year-old man approached a parked patrol car and began yelling at the officer in it. He asked the officer for a hug and swore at him for refusing, while still blocking eastbound traffic on Ann Street.

Officers arrested him and detained him at the police station until he sobered up. He refused a breathalyzer test.
