The individual spoke with a representative of the Collision Reporting Center and was directed to fill out paperwork pertaining to the collision.

A short while later the representative noted loud music coming from the individual’s vehicle. The representative also noticed the individual was now slumped over the vehicle’s steering wheel, asleep, while the music continued to play.

Members of the patrol division attended the front parking lot of the Kingston Police Station to speak with the individual. Upon doing so it was noted that the individual smelled of an alcoholic beverage, and officers observed two open containers of alcohol within the vehicle.
