Drunken driving: A 37-year-old Suquamish man was arrested shortly
after 11:30 p.m. for being in control of a car while intoxicated
after he was found passed out in a vehicle parked in the Day
Road-Highway 305 intersection. The suspect’s foot was on the brake
but the motor was running and the transmission was in drive.
Bainbridge firefighters blocked the wheels to prevent the car from
moving and then banged on the windows to get the suspect’s
attention. The suspect reportedly woke and gave a “thumbs up” sign
with both hands. He had an unopened 12-pack of beer in his rear
seat. He failed a field sobriety test, and a breath test indicated
he had a blood-alcohol level of .185. The legal limit is .08. He
“readily admitted to drinking too much, and that he had done this
before eight years ago,” a police officer reported. He was taken to
the county jail in Port Orchard and booked on $5,000 bail.
