An intoxicated woman disrupted traffic at a busy Rapid City intersection Thursday afternoon when she passed out behind the wheel at a traffic light, according to police.
Kayla Tenfingers, 26, of Rapid City, was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and having an open alcoholic container in a motor vehicle after Rapid City police found her asleep in her car at the corner of Omaha and Cambell streets around 12:45 p.m.
A photo of the incident, shared by Police Chief Karl Jegeris on Twitter, showed an open can of Bud Light in the car’s center console.
Police responded following a call from a member of the public, who also removed the car keys from the ignition after recognizing the driver “was in no condition to drive,” said police spokesman Brendyn Medina.
Tenfingers was taken to the hospital before being booked at the Pennington County Jail, Medina said.
