An intoxicated man behind the wheel of a vehicle was saved – and arrested – thanks to LCSW volunteers.
At approximately 1:00 a.m., a member observed a man sitting in a vehicle in the area of MLK Drive.
A while later, LCSW members passed by the area again and noticed the man still sitting in the vehicle, with the engine off, risking a freeze in the cold weather.
“They dispatched Lakewood Police who determined the driver was driving intoxicated,” LCSW said.
The man was taken into custody.
Just wondering is that illegal? To sit in a car while your drunk? He wasn’t driving the engine was off. It says they took him into custody
I doubt LCSW “dispatched ” the police. They call the police and ask for assistance just like ever other civilian.
Why was he arrested, if the car was off, he wasn’t driving while drunk?
I believe if keys are in ignition even if vehicle is off you are still dwi
