Police received a call that a man, later identified as Payne, was passed out behind the wheel of a car parked in the Tonawanda Bowling Center lot on Young Street.
Payne was seen pulling onto Young Street and weaving across the double yellow lines. It appeared as if his car was going to hit a house as he drove over the curb on Maple Street before pulling into a driveway on Maple.
Noting that he was “staggering severely” and nodded off several times, police reports state that Payne had taken the controlled substances Oxycodone and Clonazepan.
