DAYTON -- Police say a man passed out in a car early Thursday morning at the Silver Fox Night Club is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Police said they found Duane Middleton, 36, was passed out behind the wheel of a black Chrysler 300 with a half-liter of Ciroc vodka in the cup holder and a container of food spilled on the floor below him. Police also say a black handgun had been pushed into the space between the driver's seat and center console.
Officers ran a criminal background check and found that Middleton was a convicted felon, making his possession of a handgun illegal. When asked why he was carrying it, Middleton told police that, "It's Dayton, Man."
Middleton was charged with improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle and having weapons under disability, a felony.
