TROY (WWJ) — A Dearborn man is facing charges after police found him sleeping behind the wheel in the middle of Big Beaver Road at 4:30 in the morning.

Troy police were called to the area of Big Beaver and Adams Road in the early morning hours of Monday, Aug. 5 after getting reports of a car that was heading east in the westbound lanes of Big Beaver.


When officers showed up they found a 2008 Cadillac CTS stopped in the middle lane of eastbound Big Beaver near Crooks. The driver was "passed out" behind the wheel, police officials said.

The car was on and in drive, with the driver's foot on the brake, officials said.

When officers awoke the 29-year-old driver, they noticed his eyes were "bloodshot and glassy." After failing several sobriety tests, the man refused to take a preliminary breath test.

He was arrested and taken to the Troy Police Lock-Up, where he took chemical breath tests with results of .088% and .085%, just over the legal limit.

The driver, whose name has not been released, was given a citation for operating while intoxicated, driving with no insurance, driving with a suspended license, expired registration and PBT refusal.
