Paducah man arrested after being found unconscious in a running vehicle

A Paducah man was arrested Thursday morning after being found unconscious in a running vehicle off US 45.

Graves County Sheriff's deputies were called to the parking lot of a convenience store off North US 45 where they found 36-year-old Jeremy O'Neal of Paducah passed out in his vehicle. O'Neal's vehicle was running, the transmission was in park, and his foot was reportedly on the throttle.

Deputy Larry Jones and Emergency Management Director Tracy Warner were able to rouse O'Neal. Field sobriety tests reportedly showed O'Neal to be under the influence. 

O'Neal allegedly had methamphetamine and marijuana in his possession. He was charged with DUI, possession of meth, and trafficking in marijuana.
