A driver passed out in entirely the wrong place Friday morning.
Victoria police Const. Matt Rutherford and his partner were leaving police headquarters on Caledonia Avenue when they noticed a vehicle illegally parked on a yellow line.
They approached and saw that the driver and his passenger were both in a deep sleep.
When the driver was awakened, he began to try to conceal drugs and paraphernalia.
He was given a field-sobriety test, and failed, and had no explanation as to why he was parked next to a police station.
Rutherford said the man is from the Lower Mainland and has had several interactions with Island police detachments since March 19.
