NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio
OVI: Clague Road
An officer early June 14 spotted a woman standing in the street on Clague Road just south of Lorain Road.
The woman flagged down the officer and said the man in the vehicle next to her car was passed out behind the wheel and did not awaken when she knocked on his window.
The officer noticed that the male driver’s eyes were closed, his head was tilted back and his car was still in drive. The officer also failed to awaken the man by knocking on the window, so he parked his cruiser in front of the man’s car to prevent it from moving.
Using a lockout kit, police managed to open the passenger’s side door, put the car in park and awaken the driver. The driver smelled of an alcoholic beverage and admitted drinking, but he didn’t say how much.
After officers administered a field sobriety test, they arrested the man for operating a vehicle while impaired. A breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.134.
Officers also found a 40-caliber handgun in the car with a round in the chamber.
Officers charged the man with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, having a BAC above 0.08 and improper handling of a firearm.
The suspect told police he should have taken an Uber home instead of driving, according to a police report.
