Our officers stopped the vehicle and were able to detect the odor of alcohol on the driver's breath. The driver stated that he did not see any of the signs and did not possess a valid driver's license. Our officers also located a “checklist†from a local drinking established in the driver's pocket, which was wet and indicated that the owner had consumed at least six beers.

At this point, another bystander told the man who quit answering our officers' questions. This made it difficult to find a sober person to assume care of the intoxicated person. Our officers were later able to find the man's parents, who agreed to assume care, custody, and control of him until he sobered up.
