Details

A 25-year old Madison man was ticketed for driving under the influence of a controlled substance after a citizen found him unresponsive in the 4400 block of E. Broadway Saturday afternoon. The suspect was behind the wheel at a traffic light. He later told an arresting officer that he had taken sleeping pills. Needles and other drug paraphernalia were found in his pants' pocket. The officer asked the man if he had ingested heroin. He responded that he had not "done that for a long time." He later defined the time period as a few days ago. He acknowledged opiates would show up in his blood test, but maintained those were prescribed by a doctor.
