Las Vegas police responded Friday morning to a possible drunken driver near the steps on the east side of The Linq Promenade.

When they arrived about 4 a.m., officers encountered a silver Jaguar with Utah license plates on a sidewalk directly beneath the High Roller observation wheel.

The driver was arrested and booked on a charge of driving under the influence.
