DUI and Reasonable Control

Fairlawn police responded to a report of a woman passed out in her car at 1:24 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 27) at the intersection of West Market and Miller.

Police said the woman was inside a 1998 Buick Park Avenue when they approached. She had her eyes closes, the windows rolled up, the car was in drive and her foot on the brake.

According to the report, after numerous orders to unlock the door, the woman took her foot off the brake and attempted to unlock the door. The car then rolled forward and struck a light pole on the northwest corner of West Market and Miller. Officers freed her from the still locked car with a slim jim.
