passed out in pasco.

that makes one every four hours, forty eight minutes!

in the span of less than 24 hours, five people were arrested after being found asleep behind the wheel of their cars. while time of day is of no consequence (sheriff's office spokesperson kevin doll says "people drink and take drugs at all times of day or night"), the circumstances of a few of these are pretty interesting; far better than the stories i'm familiar with- passed out in the steak and shake drive through, or in front of the 7-eleven waiting for taquitos.

  • one of the five was found asleep after doing drugs and having drank 'a lot' before getting behind the wheel, needle still in hand;
  • one was in the middle of the street (but claimed to not know why when he was roused from his slumber), foot on the brake but still fast asleep;
  • a third, an employee of habitat for humanity, was weaving through oncoming traffic.
the arrestees ranged in age from 24-29 years of age. apparently, while such acts can happen at any time of day or night, such things happen under 30.

so hooray for uniting in unconsciousness, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
