Falling asleep in a 7-Eleven parking lot with a sawed-off shotgun in your car is not a good idea
Around midnight on Oct. 5, Hillsborough, Florida sheriff’s deputies got a call about a suspicious person in the 7-Eleven parking lot at U.S. 301 and Big Bend Road.
When Deputy Daryl Bowden of District 4 arrived, he found James Voytek Jr. asleep in a car. He also found a sawed-off 20-gauge shotgun with the serial numbers rubbed off, both of which are against the law.
Voytek woke up and told deputies that he was on his way from Tennessee to his home in Vero Beach. Bowden said Voytek had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.
Voytek was unable to produce his driver’s license.
“He said he didn’t have his driver’s license because it was revoked for DUI,” said sheriff’s spokesman Rod Reder.
