Westport Man Charged With DUI After Allegedly Falling Asleep at Wheel

Westport police reports: March 19-21.

  • Alan Casarrubias, 24, of 9 Main Street, Westport, was charged Tuesday with operating under the influence. Officers were dispatched to a report of a person slumped over the wheel of a vehicle in the middle of the roadway in the area of Post Road West and Riverside Avenue. When they arrived they found Casarrubbias, the operator and sole occupant of the vehicle, asleep with the vehicle in drive gear and his foot on the brake pedal, according to a police report. It appeared that the operator may have been waiting for the traffic signal at the intersection and had fallen asleep. When the officers woke him up, an odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected on his breath, police said. He was asked to perform the field sobriety tests which he failed. He was placed under arrest and taken into custody. He submitted to the breath test with the following results: .165 and .157, police indicated in their report. He was unable to post bond and was transported this morning to Norwalk Superior Court for arraignment. 
  • Kenyata Jacobs, 30, of Bridgeport, was charged today with second-degree failure to appear. Officers responded to Bridgeport Police Department to take Jacobs into custody, who was being held on a warrant from for failure to appear. The warrant stems from a 2003 incident where Jacobs, who at the time was employed at the Toys R Us store once located in Westport, was arrested for allegedly stealing money from the cash register, according to police. She was released from custody at the time on a promise to appear, but apparently failed at some point to show up in court, police said. She posted bond and was released for court April 2.
