A Texas county official was reportedly found asleep inside a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of a highway lane before being arrested on a DUI charge over the weekend.
The incident reportedly happened shortly after 1:30 a.m. in Galveston County when the authorities located a vehicle parked in the left lane of a highway in Texas City. According to a probable cause affidavit, an officer approached the driver’s side, opened the door, and removed the keys from the ignition before waking the driver.
Court documents stated the woman allegedly appeared confused and told the officer she believed she was in Houston and heading to a conference in Galveston. The affidavit also reportedly stated that she claimed she was “in heaven” when the officer first made contact with her.
