Police: Man Found Sleeping in Parked Car Charged With DWI

Travis Anthony-Lee Johnson was arrested after police found him sleeping in his car parked near the on-ramp of I-684 Northbound on Route 172.

Police responded to a report of an unconsicous driver at about 4 p.m. on June 22 and they found Johnson, 25, sitting behind the wheel of his gray Chevy Equinox with his eyes closed. Police said they attempted to speak with Johnson for several minutes but he was unresponsive and snoring.

Emergency medics responded to the scene and performed a blood glucose level test by pricking his skin—which did not apparantely awaken Johnson. His blood sugar levels were found to be normal. A few minutes later, police said, Johnson opened his eyes and stepped out of the car to take field sobriety tests, which he failed.

Medics called for an ambulance and Johnson was taken to Northern Westchester Hospital where he had blood drawn to determine the alcohol levels in his bloodstream. Those test results are pending. Johnson was arrested at the hospital and charged with DWI, refusing a prescreen test. He also faces parking violations and charges for not wearing a seat belt.

Johnson was released on $100 bail pending his return to town court.
