The State Patrol says a trooper returning home after his shift found a drunken driving suspect in the driveway of his own home near Zillah.

Downey followed and asked what he was doing. The driver replied he lived there.

Downey told him it was his home, then arrested the 31-year-old Yakima County man for investigation of drunken driving. He has three prior DUI convictions.
