Police arrest drunk driver in parking ramp

A drunk driver was unable to exit the State Street Campus Parking Garage on North Frances Street early Wednesday morning due to his high level of intoxication.

Police arrested 26-year-old Jorge Rojas on his fourth drunk driving offense with a .21 blood alcohol content, according to a police report.

The report said a private security guard found Rojas and his unnamed 33-year old passenger passed out inside a car at 1:40 a.m. Wednesday. The vehicle was playing loud music and contained empty beer bottles and cups which smelled like mixed drinks.

The guard woke up Rojas after trying for about 10 minutes and offered to call a cab for the men, according to the report.

Despite saying a cab ride home was “fair,” according to police, Rojas later began driving through the ramp.

However, the report says, “he appeared not to be able to figure out how to use a credit card to … actually get out of the ramp.”
