(La Porte, IN) - Police had their hands full arresting a La Porte man charged again with impaired driving.

Last week, 31-year-old Ivan Gonzalez allegedly ran a red light at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Lincolnway in downtown La Porte. During a traffic stop, the approaching officer spotted a can of Bud Light between his legs.

Gonzalez, while being questioned by the officer, attempted to take another drink but had the can wrestled from his hand after being commanded not to.

During the struggle, a taser gun was used on Gonzalez to momentarily disable him just long enough to have him handcuffed.  After taken to the county jail, though, police said he became combative again by trying to kick the correctional officers (among other similar acts).

His vehicle also contained about a dozen empty Bud Light cans and empty containers of hard lemonade.

The OWI charge was upgraded to a felony because of a prior OWI conviction from four years ago. He also has numerous other OWI convictions in the past.
