Bowling Green Police responded to a call for a man passed out in a vehicle at the gas pumps at a station in the 1600 block of East Wooster Street, Saturday around 7 a.m.
Officers found Keith Wasson, 29, of St. Mary’s, sitting in the driver’s seat of a running car. He was cited for lacking physical control of a motor vehicle, having an open container of alcohol in the car, and was arrested for improper handling of a firearm while intoxicated.
