Man's drive-through doze leads to DUI charges

[August 26, 2009]  CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -- Authorities said a 27-year-old man has been charged with drunk driving after he fell asleep in his car at a McDonald's drive-through.

A Benton County sheriff's deputy called to the drive-through arrested the man early Sunday.

According to a police report, the man had a blood-alcohol content of 0.18 percent -- more than twice Oregon's legal limit.
