20-year-old Nashat Khaled stopped his 2022 Volkswagen SUV in the middle of the roadway, facing the wrong way, near Charlotte Pike and Eastboro Road on July 18th. When officers arrived, they observed him parked with his engine off, activated their emergency equipment, and found him sleeping in the backseat. While speaking with officers, Khaled began sweating profusely and stated he was on the way to Jack in the Box. Then, Khaled said he was outside of his apartment complex and had strep throat before admitting to taking a Clonazepam pill about two hours before driving. Officers later located a prescription for Azitromycin, an antibiotic, in his vehicle. Then, he consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly. After being informed of implied consent, Khaled refused to provide a chemical sample. Khaled was taken into custody for driving under the influence and an implied consent violation.
