Apologies to the Grateful Dead, but that must have been one long, strange trip home from a Detroit Tigers game.

A Macomb County guy who told police he was coming home from a Tigers game on Oct. 10 was ticketed for drunken driving after he pulled into a driveway in Bloomfield Hills and passed out, Hometownlife.com reports.

One problem — besides the fact that Charles Parker, 53, was miles from his own home in Clinton Township in eastern Macomb County, where he told police thought he was — is that the Tigers’ last home game was Sept. 27.

“We know he didn’t come from the game, but that’s what he told our officers.” Bloomfield Hills Police Lt. Noel Clason told the newspaper. “He said he was coming home from the baseball game at Comerica Park and had pulled over to keep warm.”

Parker, who already has four drunken driving convictions, got his fifth such citation after police were called to the house in the 900 block of Lone Pine about 5:45 a.m. on Oct. 10. The residents there called police after they found him passed out in his vehicle in their driveway.

Parker is being held in the Oakland County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
