With two patrol cars with their emergency equipment activated close to fifty vehicles passed them heading north toward FM 2090 possibly from a party. One vehicle almost hit the officer. When the driver whose window was open was told to stop he continued on but thought different of it as he spotted traffic stopped in front of him. The driver was found to be impaired with an open beer on the console and half an eighteen pack in the front seat that the driver who was the lone occupant denied was his.
