A township firefighter thought the man might be drunk and, sure enough, he failed field sobriety tests with a blood alcohol content that was above the .08 limit. After officials determined he had driven to the center, he was jailed, where he was to remain until he sobered up.
His name wasn’t immediately released. Washtenaw County officials are reviewing charges.
