The driver was slumped behind the wheel with this head nearly touching his knees. The officer activated the squad’s emergency lights and approached the driver's side of the truck. The driver, later identified as Milton Javier CHAVEZ SALGUERO ([DOB REDACTED]) was still passed out and the officer saw burnt tinfoil, a lighter, and several straws on the truck’s passenger's seat.
