Officer Marcus Ryans was charged with DWI on Dec. 18. Records show a passerby saw a person asleep at the wheel in the 8000 block of South Loop East.

When police showed up around 12:30 a.m., they allegedly found Ryans asleep in his personal car in a moving lane of traffic.

He was arrested, but because the alleged DWI occurred while he was not on duty, the Houston Police Officers Union is not representing Ryans.

Officer Ryans is currently on paid leave pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs Investigation.
