On Saturday morning, Richmond Police responded to the Caperton Drive area near the Eastern Bypass to investigate reports of a man witnesses say was inappropriately touching himself near a busy roadway.
Initial reports of the male subject, later identified as Bobby Samples of Berea, claim that he appeared to be under the influence. Additional calls to the police claim Samples was located near the Eastern Bypass near the entrance to several stores where large volumes of traffic would occur.
When police arrived to the area, they found Samples who was allegedly exhibiting signs of being under the influence of a controlled substance. According to an arrest citation, Samples was “incapable of sitting still, speaking erratically… and [making] erratic eye movements”…
