New Canaan Police on Sunday arrested a 29-year-old Westport man and charged him with possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence.
At about 7:49 p.m. on Sept. 14, an officer on patrol saw a vehicle parked on the side of Country Club Road with its hazard lights on, according to a police report.
Approaching the vehicle, the officer saw the driver slouched over, the report said. The officer “had to tap on the driver side window several times to wake up the operator,” it said.
In speaking to the driver, the officer did not smell alcohol, but did detect signs of impairment, police said.
After conducting field sobriety tests, police arrested the man on the misdemeanor offenses, it said.
He was transported to police headquarters and provided a breath sample that established his blood-alcohol level at 0.00. The driver also provided a urine sample, the report said.
He was released on $600 bond and scheduled to appear Sept. 29 in state Superior Court.
