¯ During a traffic stop on Monday, a deputy found driver Michael Steven Stewart, 40, of 2301 Pride Ave., Bridgeport, W.Va. asleep with a beer between his legs while stopped at the end of the exit ramp for Macksburg on Ohio 821. When the deputy made contact, Stewart rolled the window down and appeared to be startled and confused at which time he lifted his foot off of the brake, causing the truck to move forward. There was an odor of an alcoholic beverage on/or about Stewart’s person. When asked if he knew where he was, Stewart stated Pennsylvania. Stewart was asked and submitted to a series of standardized field sobriety tests with poor results. He was arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail. Upon arrival at the jail Stewart tested 0.169 BAC.
