As police were trying to wake up the two subjects, the car rolled forward across the roadway and onto the shoulder. Firefighters and paramedics were called to the scene and they broke the window of the car to begin treating the occupants who were passed out.

Police officers found marijuana, cocaine, Xanax and Hydrocodone in the car. Police also found a 5-year-old boy, who is Hatfield-Goodnight’s son, in the backseat of the car asleep.

A field sobriety test was conducted on Hatfield-Goodnight and police determined he was driving while impaired on drugs. He was arrested and transported to the hospital for further testing.

The boy was released to a family member. Hatfield-Goodnight was processed and later transported to bond court where his bond was set at $20,000.
