The Franklin County Sheriff's Office reports late Thursday night a driver just happened to commit a very noticeable infraction, in full view of a Deputy on patrol.

The male driver "failed to navigate a turn" on Fir Road near West Eltopia Road. Then he made things worse by attempting to elude the officer before finally parking in front of his home. Judging from the FCSO image, he parked on the lawn.

23-year-old Noe Armas-Barragan was arrested on the spot after his BAC (blood alcohol count) was near twice the legal limit, which is 0.08 in WA.
