He was arraigned and sent to Bucks County prison 10 percent of $50,000.

Officers were dispatched to Oak Ridge Drive at 12:17 p.m. Wednesday for Boatwright, who was described by police as an unwanted, intoxicated person.

Officer Micheal Marks wrote in court papers that Boatwright smelled of alcohol.

“I ain’t got no name, I’m from the hood,” Boatwright allegedly told the officer. He reportedly finished with, “you’re going to have to f**king shoot me.”

While Marks was attempting to speak with Boatwright, the New Jersey resident repeated twice stated that he was “from the hood,” according to court papers.
