Upon arrival the first deputy found the driver inside SEEMINGLY passed out. After several attempts, the deputy was finally able to arouse the driver and had him step out of the vehicle and he then vomited and exhibited additional signs of impairment.

The driver, a 24-yr-old Merrill man was subsequently placed under arrest for first offense OWI.
