Police: Drunken driver asleep at stop light
Daily Record/Sunday News Updated: 03/05/2009 10:20:55 AM EST
When Carroll Township Police pulled up to a vehicle sitting at a traffic light Saturday night, they found its driver asleep at the wheel, his foot on the brake, and a beer in the console next to him, Sgt. David Smith said.
The officers, who arrived just after 8 p.m., had to yell at the man -- who had sat through six red lights while at Route 15 and Orebank Road -- to wake him up, Smith said.
"There were cars behind him blowing their horns," he said.
But once John H. McHenry III woke up, his foot came off the brake and his GMC Sierra began to move into the northwestern York County intersection. The officers were able to stop it quickly, Smith said.
McHenry, 41, was charged with driving under the influence, police said. His preliminary hearing before District Justice Richard T. Thomas is set for March 23.
