Deputies find dad passed out in car with 5-year-old

TAMPA -- A 28-year-old man was arrested early this morning after deputies found him unconscious behind the wheel of his car with his 5-year-old daughter in the passenger's seat.

Marco Antonio Gonazlez-Ramirez, with no known address, (pictured) was found by Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies in a black Volkswagon at Blossom and Idlewild Avenues. Deputies said his blood-alcohol content was about .17 -- more than double the limit at which a person is deemed impaired. He was unable to stand unassisted, deputies said.

Gonzalez-Ramirez was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remains on bail of $2,750. His daughter is now in the custody of her mother, Gonzalez-Ramirez's ex-wife.
