Jagdeep Singh, 30, apparently got into the Mazda Miata parked at the Delta gas station on southbound Route 23 to take a nap and got wedged upside-down in the roll cage, Detective Capt. Dan Daly said.
Officers who responded detected an “overwhelming odor of alcohol” and summoned rescuers to get him out, Daly said.
Members of the Wayne Township Memorial First Aid Squad cut off the cage and freed the intruder, he said.
The Miata's 60-year-old owner "wasn't very happy" about the situation, one responder said.
Singh was charged with trespassing and hospitalized for alcohol intoxication.
