Suspected Drunk Driver Found Sleeping in Car
Colorado law allows for someone to be charged with DUI even if they are asleep when the police contact them. It happens frequently, but one such incident found its way into the media. The Windsorbeacon.com ran a story on June 5, 2010 about Mark Stone of Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Windsor Police Department apparently received a tip about a car driving the wrong side of the road. Officers were able to locate the vehicle and found Mark Stone asleep in it. Officers also noticed signs of intoxication such as red and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol. Mr. Stone was identified by the tipster as the person they had seen driving on the wrong side of the road earlier. Mr. Stone was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and careless driving.
