25-year-old Christopher Hawkins was observed sleeping in his driver’s seat while the engine was on near 3rd Avenue South and Korean Veterans Boulevard in the early hours of May 5th. When officers arrived, they approached Hawkins and had him exit his vehicle, where they noticed he reeked of alcohol before he admitted to drinking. He consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly. Officers discovered that Hawkins’ license had expired. During a subsequent search, officers found a loaded 9mm handgun under his seat with two additional filled magazines. Hawkins was taken into custody for driving under the influence, weapon possession while under the influence, and not having a valid driver’s license.
