MORRISTOWN — A drunken man was in his running car at the Burger King drive-thru for two hours, according to a report filed by Officer Joseph Heuneman.

The report said the fast-food chain's manager flagged down officers, who found a black Hyundai running with its key in the ignition at the drive-thru at about 2:35 a.m. Oct. 5.

After the driver — Kyler Ginter, 41, of Sparta — told Heuneman he had been drinking, Ginter failed field sobriety tests, according to the report.

Just before arresting Ginter, Heuneman asked him where had had planned to drive, the report said.

Ginter told him he was going to Sparta but "I knew I couldn't handle it and I just wanted to stay here," the report said.

He was taken to the Morristown Police Department, where a breath test showed his blood-alochol level was at .16 percent, double the .08-percent legal limit, according to the report.

Ginter was given a court date and released to a family member, the report said.
