The Macomb County Sheriff's Department has confirmed that former state Sen. Dave Jaye was arrested and jailed on Sunday for disorderly conduct and it appears this may be a case of public drunkenness.

Here's what the Sheriff's Department said in a press release:

On Sunday evening, Macomb Sheriff deputies assigned to Washington Township were dispatched to an area on the Macomb Orchard Trail near Campground & Van Dyke for a disorderly person complaint.

They located a subject who matched the description.  The man was on a bicycle and wearing a backpack.  According to the deputies, the man appeared “sloppy” he had slurred speech, and he smelled of alcohol.  He was detained and deputies searched his backpack finding cans of beer.      

Deputies located the complainant/caller, a jogger on the trail, and he told deputies that the man had been chanting and that he made threats to “hurt” the complainant. 

The man was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and he was transported to the Macomb County Jail.

On 09-08, David Jaye (56) of Bonita Springs, Florida was video-arraigned in the 42^nd District Court of Romeo.  He was granted a $1,000 (personal) bond.  He has since been released.

His next court date is 09-25-14 at 9am in the same court.
