On February 7th just after 3 pm Mesa Police Officers saw a car stopped in the roadway at Country Club and 1st Ave in Mesa. Officers walked up to the car and saw an adult female later identified as Alvina Johnson sleeping at the wheel with her foot on the break. Officers also observed a 6 year old child in the back seat of the vehicle. Officers woke Johnson up and saw indications this could be a Driving Under the Influence situation. Johnson showed multiple signs of impairment and admitted to drinking Vodka before driving. A preliminary breathalyzer test indicated a .211 blood alcohol content.
Johnson was ultimately arrested and charged with one count of Aggravated DUI a Felony. We are grateful this situation ended before tragedy struck.
