WHAT A BOZO!
From RedStickNow
Baton Rouge Police have arrested 29-year-old Samuel Shavers, 1726 Northdale, Baton Rouge, after finding him passed out behind the wheel of his vehicle on Plank Rd. Thursday afternoon.
According to a report, an officer found Shavers behind the wheel of his vehicle, which was running and in ‘DRIVE’, in the 5900 block of Plank Rd. Shavers had his foot on the brake which was preventing the vehicle from moving forward.
The officer was unable to wake Shavers up so he had to break the window of his vehicle to remove Shavers from the car.
The report notes that Shavers appeared extremely intoxicated and had a very strong odor of alcohol emitting from him. There was also a cold, opened bottle of Olde English Malt Liquor in the console of the vehicle.
Shavers’ balance was so bad, he was unable to perform a standard field sobriety test. He also refused to submit to a chemical breath test.
An investigation revealed that Shavers was previously arrested for DWI on 7/25/09, 7/24/10 and 10/10/11.
Shavers was charged with 4th Offense DWI, Drinking in a Motor Vehicle, Obstruction of a Roadway, Operating While Under Suspension and Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test.
He was transported to EBR Parish Prison where he is currently being held in lieu of a $53,500 bond.
