A young black man has found himself on the wrong side of the law after he was arrested for allegedly helping his drunk neighbour
23-year-old Samir Ahmed had decided to help a neighbour who was drunk and police were also called because of the drunk neighbour.
When Police arrived on the scene, they interrogated Ahmed and before he knew it, he was being arrested.
Ahmed now finds himself facing four charges for resisting arrest, failure to obey a reasonably lawful order, obstructing and hindering, and disorderly conduct.
The incident was caught on camera and in the video, neighbours could be heard puzzled about the arrest and asking why it was being effected.
The short clip of Ahmed’s arrest has now gone viral online with black comedian D.L. Hughley sharing it on his Instagram page.

Ahmed too shared a video on his own page and he claimed that after responding to the officer who interrogated him, the latter said “I think you’re the intoxicated one,”
The shell-shocked Ahmed continued; “I was later arrested as seen in my video but was never told what for till literally 3 hours later.”

On Saturday November,17,2018 at 11:00am I was locked out my house, so I called a Lyft to a friends house. While I was outside I realized that an intoxicated man had just fell down right by my front yard. I asked if he was okay,but he was so drunk he could barely talk. So I lifted him up and took him home. While walking him home I asked why was he drinking so much, so early in the morning. Unfortunately he was grieving the loss of his brother who passed away a few days ago. I knocked on the door and made sure he got inside home safely then walked back home. When i returned home i seen there where police men and firefighters outside my house. I asked “is there a fire”. The officer responded saying they where called there because someone was intoxicated and needed medical attention. Apparently before I had seen the drunk guy he was unconscious in somebodies lawn.I explained how I carried him home, and showed my ID to prove that I lived on the residence. After answering all there questions in a respectful manner, one the officers said”I think you’re the intoxicated one”. I was later arrested as seen my in the video but was never told what for till literally 3 hours later. I’m currently fighting four charges and Fox 5, NBC, and CBS won’t shed light on this situation SO PLEASE SHARE! Shout out to the Peters family for recording and all the love and support they showed through this situation.
