A 31-year-old man with a strong odor of alcohol in him didn’t end up taking the 2015 Ford F550 pickup where police found him after an alarm went off, but he did vomit “heavily” in the passenger compartment, police said. So much for that new car smell. Darien police gave this account (consisting of accusations not proven in court) of the matter:

The owner of the pickup was woken up at 3:23 a.m. Sunday when the car alarm in it sounded, and police were called to the residence, which is down a long driveway off the Post Road. Five officers arrived at the scene and walked down the long driveway. A man in the Ford pickup, with the hood of a hooded jacket over his head, was in the driver’s seat leaning over the console area.
