OWI for Napping Driver at Intersection

(La Porte County, IN) - More than just a cat nap was being taken by a driver at a La Porte County intersection.

 

According to La Porte County Police, officers were called early Friday to Range Road and 650 North on a report that a vehicle had been sitting at the stop sign there for about one hour. Upon arrival, 39-year-old Brady Squires was sleeping behind the wheel. He woke up when an officer started tapping on the window.

 

According to authorities, Squires' breath smelled like alcohol, and there was an open Smirnoff can on the dashboard.

 

The man from northern Michigan was arrested for OWI because he refused to take a certified blood-alcohol test.
