On the outskirts of Harris County, deputies arrested a man who was found asleep at the wheel in a residential neighborhood. According to a social media post by Constable Mark Herman's Office, the suspect, Gilberto Rivera, was discovered in the 23800 block of Tree House Lane today, displaying clear signs of intoxication.

Subsequent to conducting a series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, it became apparent that Rivera was indeed unfit to safely operate his vehicle.

"Gilberto Rivera was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for Driving While Intoxicated," the Constable's office stated. At the time of the report, his bond and court details had not yet to be determined and disclosed to the public.
