AUBURN, Ind. (WOWO) – Auburn police arrested a woman early this morning after finding her passed out behind the wheel of her car. Officers found the vehicle parked at a gas station at Wayne Street and Auburn Drive. A police K-9 dog was used to detect the presence of alleged illegal drugs and meth precursors.
