PAW PAW, Mich. — Authorities said a lost and confused drunken driver picked the wrong place to stop and rest - the front lawn of the Michigan State Police post in Paw Paw. Police said the man drove onto the lawn of the post early Thursday after overshooting the station’s parking lot. He was visibly intoxicated and had vomited on himself.
The driver told officers he couldn’t remember where he was coming from but said he was going to his Grand Rapids-area home. Michigan State Police said in a statement the man simply happened to choose the post as a resting spot.
The man’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. Police said he was arrested six times previously for drunken driving and his license has been revoked.
He is held in the Van Buren County jail.
