Police approached and observed the vehicle running and sole occupant's head slumped over on his chest.

The driver was later identified as JOEL STALIN CALLE CALLE [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein. Police observed an empty Heineken beer on the passenger floorboard and the vehicle was in park. Police opened the driver's door and removed the key from the ignition. During this process, Defendant did not wake up. Police immediately detected the odor of consumed alcohol and shook Defendant awake. Defendant appeared very sleepy and responded to police but did not open his eyes. Police asked Defendant how many beers he had consumed and Defendant responded "four." Police then had Defendant exit the vehicle and complete standardized field sobriety testing.

During the tests, police observed multiple clues of impairment. Police administered a preliminary breathalyzer test to Defendant which showed a result of.183 BAC. Police arrested Defendant and noted his driver's license was cancelled inimical to public safety. Police transported Defendant to complete the breath test which returned results of.18.
