An Arizona man was arrested after spinning tires in a parking lot.

Shortly after 11 pm on Wednesday, Casey County Deputy Austin Harris observed a vehicle pull into a parking lot, spin its tires, and park. Deputy Harris watched the man remain inside for 10 minutes, drinking from a Michelob Ultra bottle. 

The driver, later identified as 24-year-old Francisco Lopez Gomez from Benton, AR, exited the vehicle with bags in hand and staggered across the road. He dropped several beers and fell into the street while attempting to retrieve them. 

Deputy Harris activated his emergency lights and blocked the road, securing Gomez from traffic. Gomez, visibly impaired with slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and poor balance, stated he had driven from work at a Mexican restaurant in Danville. Despite his condition, he insisted he was fine. 

Gomez was arrested and taken to Casey County Jail on charges of Alcohol Intoxication in a Public Place and No Operator's License.
