A drunken man outside a pub handed over a cigarette and discount card when a responding officer requested his identification, police said.

An officer just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday was flagged down by a person in the parking lot of Bea McNally’s Irish Pub, 109 Grand Ave., Hackettstown. The person reported Kris Freund, 64, drunk and sitting inside a parked car, according to police.

When the officer approached Freund, he noticed cuts on his eye, lip and hand areas. The man then handed over the cigarette and a supermarket discount card as forms of identification before eventually finding the correct documentation, police said.

Freund later fell out of the vehicle and the Hackettstown rescue squad responded to the scene, police said.

He was charged with drunken driving, refusal to submit a breath test and various motor vehicle violations. He was released pending a court appearance.
