Passed-out motorist arrested in stolen car

A 32-year-old Zephyrhills, Florida man was arrested Tuesday after he was found asleep in a vehicle reported stolen out of Miami.

Pedro Jesus Blanco was charged with DUI, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and driving without a valid license — habitual offender.

The Sheriff’s Office responded to a Key Largo parking lot on the 102000 block of the Overseas Highway at approximately 4:37 a.m. to find Blanco asleep behind the wheel of a Chevrolet sedan with the key in the ignition, the engine running, and the music turned up very loud.

The vehicle was reported stolen out of Miami on March 10, 2024.

Blanco was taken to jail.
