PUEBLO — Just after 5 a.m. Sunday, Pueblo Police responded to a car stopped on I-25.

The car was stopped in a lane of traffic on the northbound side of the highway, just before the 29th Street exit. The man in the driver's seat was asleep.

According to Pueblo Police, an officer pounded on the window until the man woke up. When he rolled down the window, officers could see that he had thrown up on himself.

The man was arrested for DUI and the car was towed off the highway. Fortunately, no wrecks were caused due to the vehicle being stopped on the highway.
