Oakdale Police Blotter: Intoxicated Men Can't Wait for Burger King to Open

The fact that Oakdale’s was closed at 3 a.m. Saturday morning didn’t stop two intoxicated men from trying to make their way into the restaurant, according to a police report.

A delivery driver called police April 9 after seeing the two men at the drive-thru area. One of the men was standing at the window, while the other one was inside, the report says.

Police detained a 21-year-old Oakdale man, and a 22-year-old Rockford man fled, according to the report.

The Oakdale Burger King’s manager didn’t find anything out of place inside the restaurant, the report says.
