PORT ST. LUCIE — A 54-year-old Port St. Lucie man faces DUI charges after allegedly laying down his motorcycle several times on the Crosstown Parkway Friday night, according to a St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit.

Roger Dale Syner, of the 200 block of Southwest Inwood Avenue, was arrested after 8 p.m. and charged with a traffic felony for DUI and a misdemeanor for refusing a breathalyzer test. It was the fourth DUI in Syner’s lifetime and third in 10 years, according to the affidavit.

A witness driving behind Syner watched him drop his motorcycle at least three times while he was speeding eastbound, according to the affidavit. He told officers he had just enough to drink.

Syner appeared to be sleeping while sitting up in the median, according to the affidavit, and he slept while being transported to the Port St. Lucie police station.

When officers woke him, the affidavit said, Syner said he didn’t remember what happened and must have blacked out, according to the affidavit.

Syner was taken to the St. Lucie Medical Centers emergency room for medical clearance and transported to the St. Lucie County jail.
