A man was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol on Tuesday night, after police paced his car traveling at 55 mph along East Speedway Boulevard.
David Castro, of the 6300 block of North Barcelona Lane, was pulled over immediately after police saw his car cross the traffic divider along Speedway.
Castro, 23, took the field sobriety tests and nearly passed out at one point. Officers caught him and helped him lie on the ground before he fell.
Castro was on the ground for about a minute when he told officers he had never drunk so much in his life.
Medics arrived at the scene and said his vital signs were okay. He was cited and released on his promise to appear in court.
