Party Animal of The Year

I first read about this guy in Sunday's SJ-R when it was still unclear who he was. Well, now we know.

Police have identified a man found during the weekend wandering in the woods in the Westchester subdivision wearing only boxer shorts and a boot.

The man, Jacob A. Ray, 29, of Rochester, faces several criminal charges, including aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated assault, resisting arrest and criminal damage to property for allegedly tearing an officer's uniform.

Police found Ray in the 3200 block of Dorchester Drive about 12:45 a.m. Saturday, after neighbors reported hearing someone yelling for help in the woods.

He was extremely disoriented and wearing a pair of brown and black plaid shorts and one size 10 Wolverine boot.

Ray initially tried to fight officers and collapsed before telling them his name, police said.

He was taken to St. John's Hospital, where he has been unconscious in the intensive care unit.

Police said he regained consciousness briefly Sunday evening, but not enough to converse. He was sedated for medical reasons.

Police said Ray was at a party at a nearby residence earlier in the evening. He was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when officers found him, according to police.


That must have been some party. I wonder if anyone bothered to come forward to identify this guy after the first story ran Sunday. Or were they just glad he left the party.
