Preston Parker Allegedly Falls Asleep in Drive-Thru, Gets DUI Charge

Update: Parker was dismissed by Florida State Monday. Apparently Bobby Bowden's getting tougher in his old age: Nowadays you only get three strikes before you're kicked off the Seminoles roster.

Earlier: There's been a disturbing trend of athletes/people falling asleep in the cars after getting drunk ... while driving. Preston Parker, a Florida State wide receiver, is the latest "victim" of the trend, and most embarrassingly, he was in the McDonald's drive-thru when he got busted.

According to police, Parker had fallen asleep with his car's engine running and the transmission in drive. When he woke up, according to police, an officer smelled alcohol on his breath.

Parker, 21, needed to lean against his car to find balance, struggled through a field sobriety test and admitted that he had smoked marijuana either Friday night or early Saturday morning, police said.

Oddly, Parker still "passed" a breathalyzer test, registering only a .054, which is below the Florida legal limit (even though he failed a field test; I assume this is the grounds for the DUI).

Even more oddly, he told police he smoked the potweed! You just don't ever do that, even if you receive a "presumptive positive" for a marijuana test ... or whatever that result might be called .... your honor.
