CA Park Ranger Found Passed Out Drunk with Beer Between Legs

A California State Parks ranger was allegedly found passed out drunk with a beer between his legs. Tyson Young had a picture snapped of him by a passerby after they tried (and failed)  to wake him up. They also called 911.

Lost Coast Outpost has the details:

This source, who asked to remain anonymous, said that on the afternoon of Aug. 15 he spotted a State Parks vehicle parked irregularly along State Route 254, aka the “Avenue of the Giants” in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. When he stopped to investigate he noticed that the park ranger’s head was leaned against the inside doorjamb.

Worried that the ranger might be hurt, the man tried to wake him, calling out “sir! sir!” and banging on the front and back of the vehicle, he said. Then he reached through the open window. “I shook him, really shook him,” the man said. “And then I saw the beer between his legs.”

The man said he called 911 and then snapped a photo of Young while waiting for officers to respond. Before they arrived, however, Young woke up and started driving northbound.

The CHP spotted Young’s car and pulled him over. He was evaluated and arrested for a DUI. Young has been placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation.
