A man was arrested after police found him sleeping inside a car parked in Brian Bachmann Park after hours. College Station Police say they observed the car around 2:00am on Tuesday morning. 40-year-old Cory Jamaine Ozoeze, of Houston, was asleep in the driver’s seat with a child in his lap. Officers had to tap the window several times before they could awake Ozoeze from his slumber. They observed that the man was sweating profusely even though the ambient temperature was approximately 63 degrees at the time. Ozoeze appeared disoriented, spoke slowly, and had a disconnected gaze consistent with PCP intoxication.
