In a rather unassuming incident at a closed gas station in Roseville, California, local police stumbled upon a napper with an inventory not meant for sweet dreams. The City of Roseville Police Department reported that in the early morning last Saturday, an officer noticed someone sleeping in their car at the gas pumps. When the officer circled back a few hours later, the same vehicle remained stationary, prompting a check-in which quickly turned from routine to revealing.

The City of Roseville, California Police Department detailed the discovery in a Facebook post, noting that drug paraphernalia and other illegal items were in plain view as the driver woke from his slumber. The subsequent search unearthed not just drugs but also pills, a digital scale, three phones, marijuana intended for sale, and a loaded Glock with extra ammunition. This cache of contraband was not exactly what one might call a light travel kit for a midnight snooze at a gas station.

The social media post from Roseville police did inject a touch of irony with its 'pro tip': "If you're going to nap on the job, maybe don’t do it at a closed gas station... with a car full of drugs, a loaded gun, and enough packaging material to open a small pharmacy." An array of charges now faces the drowsy driver, transforming a simple nap into a wake-up call of the legal variety.

The City of Roseville, California Police Department's moral doubles as a cautionary reminder, "If you’re “resting,” leave the illegal inventory at home." The man was arrested on multiple felony charges after accidentally showing contraband, drawing the attention of law enforcement. His identity has not been released, and the police have not shared details on his arraignment or court dates.
