Story out of Simi Valley, California:

An Uber driver in Southern California was arrested after the Super Bowl and accused of driving drunk while en route to pick up a customer.

Robert Wing already had picked up a few passengers before he was stopped, according to the Simi Valley Police Department. He told an officer that he had watched the Super Bowl at a bar and was “trying to make some extra cash,” authorities said.

“The driver was unaware of his physical location due to his impairment and was relying on his GPS to direct him where to go,” police said in a statement.

The Los Angeles Times reported that two empty beer cans were found inside Wing’s vehicle, which was impounded. One of the Coors Light cans was discovered under the driver’s seat, according to the newspaper.

According to police, Wing had a blood-alcohol level of 0.25 percent. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. Cont,
