Madison police arrested a local man Wednesday afternoon for drug-related charges after an officer found the 27-year-old passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle on West Gilman Street, according to a police incident report.
Police charged Jeremy Hardyman with possession of heroin, operating a vehicle while under the influence and probation violation and took him to the Dane County Jail.
An officer dispatched to the 200 block of West Gilman Street found Hardyman, who appeared to be not breathing, in a purple Cadillac and broke the window to aid the Madison man.
Hardyman was unable to tell the officer how he ended up at the location, but admitted he had taken various narcotics after becoming paranoid he was going to be stopped by police in his vehicle, according to the report.
The officer found evidence of heroin usage and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, police officer Howard Payne said in the report.
