Man found unconscious at the wheel in Coral Springs arrested after cocaine discovered in his wallet

Coral Springs, Florida – A routine call about an unconscious driver led to the arrest of a man on drug charges earlier this month. Police discovered 29-year-old Reynard Fletcher slumped over in the driver’s seat of a vehicle stopped in traffic, leading to a startling discovery.

According to an arrest report, officers responded to a call around 1:20 a.m. on March 12 near 5000 Coral Springs Drive after receiving reports of a man passed out behind the wheel. When officers arrived, they found Fletcher appearing drowsy, incoherent, and struggling to keep his eyes open. His speech was slurred, and he exhibited clear signs of impairment.

During their interaction, officers requested Fletcher’s driver’s license. Instead, he mistakenly handed over his wallet. Inside, officers reportedly found three small ziplock bags containing a white powdery substance. Upon conducting a field test, the substance was confirmed to be cocaine, with a total weight of 3.45 grams.

When questioned, Fletcher initially denied any knowledge of the drugs. However, according to the police report, he later admitted, “I was coked up and knocked out.” His spontaneous statement, combined with his impaired condition, led officers to take him into custody on the spot.

Further investigation revealed that the license plate on Fletcher’s vehicle was not legally assigned. He later told officers that he had purchased the car on March 7 and had attached an old plate from a different vehicle. The improper registration added another charge to his arrest.

Fletcher was transported to the Broward County Main Jail, where he was booked on charges of cocaine possession and attaching a license plate not assigned to the vehicle.

Authorities continue to emphasize the dangers of impaired driving and encourage the public to report suspicious activity on the roads. This case serves as another reminder of the risks associated with drug use and driving under the influence.
