TROY, Mich. – A FedEx semitruck driver who was drunk was arrested Nov. 24 after police pulled him over in Troy.

When police searched the truck, they found two half-full containers of alcohol in a container.
The driver was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and transporting an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle.
