Drunk Teenager Tries to Bribe Arlington Police Officer: Police

A drunk teenager made the unwise decision to try to bribe an Arlington police officer Wednesday evening and faces a litany of charges as a result, according to police.

Officers arrested 19-year-old Ryan McNulty of Arlington after finding him passed out drunk at around 5:30 p.m. in the 3900 block of N. Lee Highway, according to the police report and police spokesperson Ashley Savage.

McNulty got himself in more trouble by providing two fake IDs when confronted by the officers, police said, but things quickly took yet another turn for the worse.

"During transport to booking, the subject became agitated and offered to pay the officer to allow him to leave without charges," the report states.

McNulty now faces charges of attempt to commit bribery, possession of a fictitious license (two charges), providing a false ID to avoid arrest, underage consumption of alcohol and drunk in public.

Savage said he was held until sober and then released on a $5,000 secured bond.
