A man has been arrested for testing more than three times over the legal limit for alcohol while in a vehicle.
Members of the public alerted Haverhill police to a man "slumped over the wheel" of a parked car in Clements Estate in the town on Sunday, April 21.
Officers found the man smelling strongly of alcohol with keys in the ignition of a vehicle and a bottle of alcohol.

The man provided a roadside breath test of 165ugs, which is more than three times the legal limit of 35ugs.
He was arrested and taken to Bury St Edmunds police station.
A spokesman for the police said: "Despite not actually being seen to drive, an offence of drunk in charge is committed if it can be proved in the circumstances that there is a likelihood to drive."
