Cops said the officer found the driver passed out behind the wheel of their vehicle, adding they were “unresponsive and showing no signs of waking up.

“After several attempts to rouse the individual — and a strong scent of alcohol in the air — the officer determined the driver was impaired,” police alleged. “Once the driver finally woke up, they displayed clear signs of intoxication.”

Hamilton cops said the driver was arrested and taken for a breathalyzer test, which registered readings of 101 mg and 96 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. They were later released on an undertaking.

“Hamilton Police would like to remind the public that impaired is impaired — whether you’re cruising down the highway or coasting toward a combo meal,” the statement said. “Plan ahead, arrange a safe ride and keep our roads safe.”
