Oklahoma senator found passed out behind the wheel

WOODWARD, Okla. —A Republican senator was arrested in the early morning hours Tuesday morning on a DUI-related charge.
Sen. Bryce Marlatt was arrested for actual physical control, commonly known as APC. DUI is different from APC in that it requires that the vehicle is actually moving.
A Woodward County deputy reported seeing the man’s GMC pickup parked in an intersection at approximately 3 a.m. Tuesday. The suspect was identified as Marlatt.
Marlatt was asleep in the vehicle and smelled heavily of alcohol, according to the arrest report. Police say the first comprehensible thing the man said when asked how much he had to drink tonight was, “No more than anybody else.”
