About four hours later, officers came across an individual who appeared to be asleep or unconscious behind the wheel of a parked car near the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Tecumseh Road East. The 27-year-old male was arrested for impaired driving and given a breath test, which confirmed he was over the legal limit.
