A suspected drunk driver rammed his car into the San Leandro Police Department headquarters Sunday morning, police said.
According to San Leandro Police Lt. Abe Teng, officers found the 34-year-old driver unresponsive in the Lexus sedan and arrested him after he regained consciousness.
Police suspect alcohol played a role in the crash because of items found in the vehicle and because the driver showed symptoms of being under the influence, Teng said.
