Officials who apprehended a drunk driver after he lost control of his vehicle and slammed it into a stop sign discovered that the driver's car was missing one of its wheels.

The driver, 24-year old Jeffrey Ho, was found behind the wheel of his car, after police were notified by a local convenience store of the car leaving their area with one of his car's wheels detached.

Upon the authorities' discovery of Ho and his car not far off, the driver was obviously drunk, and the police addressed the fact. Ho, whose car had at the time slammed into the stop sign, responded that it was alright, because "he wasn't driving," reported the News-Times.

He was also reportedly unaware of his car's missing wheel, and did not know how it had been detached.

The UPI reported that officials attempted to locate the missing wheel, using scratch marks left on the pavement by the car, to no avail.
