SLIPPERY ROCK — A Butler County man found passed out in a van told police he thought he was in Cranberry Township before being arrested for drunken driving.

He was off by more than 30 miles.

And the van that Robert N. West, 24, of Cranberry Township was in, Slippery Rock University police said, did not belong to him.

A hearing for West on driving under the influence and theft charges is set for later this month.

Police were called May 6 to the SRU maintenance center after an employee opened the door to the work van, a 2004 Chevrolet Venture, and discovered the defendant slumped over the steering wheel, according to court documents.

The employee tried to awaken West by shaking him. She also told him to get out and asked what he was doing there.
