Denard Robinson drives car into pond, officer finds him asleep at the wheel

Denard Robinson was found asleep at the wheel on Sunday night by authorities after the Jaguars running back drove a Chevrolet Impala into a retention pond on Jacksonville's Southside, according to the Sheriff's Office crash report.

The Florida Times-Union reports that the responding officer arrived at the scene around 4:20 a.m. and noticed that both Robinson and a female passenger were asleep inside the car. It was determined that Robinson, 25, wasn't impaired and shouldn't face DUI charges.

The drivers' side of the car was submerged in the pond so the officer approached from the passenger's side and knocked on the window.
