Nevada state Sen. Edgar Flores was arrested after apparently falling asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle on Sept. 12, bodycam footage of the incident appears to show.
In the video posted on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Public Records Unit YouTube channel, Flores can be seen lifting his head up after an officer knocks on the driver’s door window of his stationary vehicle.
“I am not suggesting that anybody should be driving that tired. It was 100% my fault,” Flores told 8 News Now. “I was just way too tired. Driving tired is dangerous, and I should not have been in that position. Luckily, it was just me sleeping, but still, in another scenario, you could be swerving or hit a car, so there are other scenarios where this could have been bad.”
Fox News Digital attempted to reach out for a comment from Flores but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

“Senator Flores remains fully focused on serving the community, as he has been for more than 10 years as an Assemblyman, State Senator and Immigration Attorney,” the statement concludes.
