"I don't have a place to sleep. My house has been closed by the landlord. So, I am here because the police motto is Service to All."

While affirming that he hasn't committed any crime, the man said he was willing to be framed up and locked up for the night.

He said it is at the discretion of the officers to release him the next day or decide to take him to court.

When informed by officers that cells were meant for criminals and not innocent folks like him, Alex pleaded with them to suggest a crime he could commit. He also suggested that they fabricate a crime against him which will help him get locked up.
