'Extremely Drunk' Man Fell Asleep In Arby’s Drive-Thru: Chaska Police

CHASKA, MN — Chaska police say a 43-year-old man was "extremely drunk" when he fell asleep at the wheel of his vehicle in an Arby's drive-thru. Authorities said he will be criminally charged.

At about 1 p.m. on Friday, officers responded to the drive-thru on a report of an unresponsive driver. The man had fallen asleep after ordering his food, according to authorities.

"Luckily, an observant patron noticed this and was able to open the driver’s door and shift the vehicle into park, likely preventing damage to property and injury to others," police said in a statement.

The man was "too drunk" to perform the standardized field sobriety tests, according to officers. The police instead executed a search warrant and obtained a sample of his blood.

The man later admitted to drinking "Boone’s Farm," officers said. Boone’s Farm is known as a cheap and fruity brand of wine.

"Becoming extremely drunk and then driving to get curly fries is an incredibly selfish decision," police said. "Thankfully the man was not driving at higher speeds on the city streets or highways at the time he fell asleep."
