A Vernon, B.C., man turned the heads of Mounties Sunday morning when he passed out in his Jetta while blasting music.
When Mounties arrived at 6:33 a.m., they say they asked him to wake up and get out of the car and that’s when they saw a loaded pistol on the passenger seat floor.
“The man was arrested immediately and the vehicle searched,” RCMP said in a press release.
