In Houston, a driver's slumber at the wheel in the middle of traffic led to an arrest for his third DWI offense. The incident, which took place on the 6100 block of N Sam Houston Parkway W, resulted in Victor Sanchez being taken into custody by a deputy of Constable Mark Herman's Office.
According to a Facebook post by Precinct 4, Sanchez was discovered asleep behind the wheel during a traffic stop last Friday. The post further detailed that Sanchez exhibited multiple intoxication signs, prompting officers to administer standardized field sobriety tests, which he failed. Investigations to subsequently determine his blood alcohol content were executed with a search warrant in hand.
The official report was clear: Sanchez already had two prior convictions for driving while intoxicated, making this his third strike. A statement made through the Precinct's Facebook page included Constable Mark Herman's comments: "Victor Sanchez was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for his third offense of Driving While Intoxicated." Details concerning Sanchez's bond and court appearance were pending at the time of the report.
