The driver appeared to be sleeping. The patrol unit’s overhead lights were activated and it stopped behind the vehicle. When the deputies approached the vehicle they observed a female sitting in the driver’s seat with her head leaned back and her eyes closed. There was a male subject sitting in the passenger seat and he was talking on a cell phone. The female woke up and was identified as Trulie Renea Sumerall, W/M, DOB: 01/09/1996.
