A Big Island man faces a felony DUI charge after being found passed out behind the wheel, bad news for him and a sign of tougher treatment for repeat drunk drivers.

  • Joshua Randall, 35, was arrested near Ainaloa Boulevard after allegedly passing out in his car.
  • His breath alcohol level was close to three times the legal limit.
  • Prior DUI convictions mean prosecutors charged him with habitual DUI, a felony.
  • The charge carries up to 10 years in prison.
