The tale, which was recently posted on the Police Department’s Facebook page, begins with Sgt. Scott patrolling the FM 1093, a busy county road west of Houston.
At one point during his patrol, Scott saw something lying in the middle of the road. According to the Facebook post, Scott first swerved to avoid the object. However, as he got closer, he saw that the object blocking the road was, in fact, a woman.

The Houston police officer said that the woman appeared drunk. After he woke her up and pulled her off the road, the Texas woman told Scott that her car got stuck in a ditch about 200 yards up the road. She also told Sgt. Scott that after she after she tried to free the car, she fell asleep on the road.
