A 麻豆精选 man potentially faces charges after falling asleep behind the wheel at the drive-thru window of a fast food restaurant in Rutland.
The 麻豆精选 RCMP responded Dec. 15 at 1:50 a.m. to a report of an unknown male passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle at the window of a drive-thru located near the intersection of Hollywood Road and Highway 33.
