It was a troubling sight for some gas station employees in Lehigh County.
Workers at the Top Star gas station at 5626 Route 145 in North Whitehall Township found a woman passed out in her car, with the car running.
More troubling: her four-year-old son was in the back seat.
It happened Jan. 30 around 4:30 p.m.
Police said witnesses tried several times to wake her up by knocking on the car window.
Gas station employees finally got the attention of 39-year-old Brandy Eileen Wieser and encouraged her to go into the station to get a drink and try to wake up, police said.
Police arrested Wieser for DUI. She had a blood alcohol content of .27 percent--more than three times the legal limit.
Wieser is from Slatington.
