Incident #: 24-656

Location: 1400 block of S. Main Street

Date: February 25, 2024

Time: 1:47 am

INFORMATION: While on routine patrol, an officer observed a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup parked in the center of a parking lot of a closed commercial property. The officer approached the vehicle and found the vehicle to be running and occupied by a male subject in the driver’s seat, who appeared to be asleep. After repeatedly knocking on the window of the vehicle, the officer was able to wake the driver up. The driver rolled his window down to speak with the officer, and immediately the officer noted a strong odor of alcohol emitting from both the vehicle and his person.

The officer questioned the driver on what he had been doing, parked in the middle of the parking lot and the driver refused to answer any questions. While speaking with the driver, it was found that he was in possession of a handgun, which was secured and entered into evidence. The driver refused to perform any standard field sobriety tests or answer any questions. The officer determined that there was enough probable cause to place the driver, identified as a 49-year-old Gregory man, under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. The suspect was transported to the Chelsea Police Department for processing. The case remains open pending laboratory analysis by the Michigan State Police Crime Lab to determine the level of intoxication. The case will then be submitted to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for warrant review and to determine what, if any, charges will be authorized.
