-- A 23-year-old Gardnerville man sentenced to probation for driving his car at two salesmen through a Carson City auto showroom last year was arrested Saturday when he was so drunk he couldn't find his way home.

Deputies were called at 2:35 a.m. after residents complained about Travis Williams trying to enter a home in the 700 block of Bluerock because he thought he lived there.

His blood-alcohol content measured .218, nearly three times the legal limit of .08 for driving in Nevada.

Williams told deputies he was walking home from a bar and thought he was at his residence.

He was sentenced to five years probation in Carson City last year for two charges of assault with a deadly weapon and malicious destruction of property.

Williams has been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder with psychosis and ordered to take his medication to keep him out of prison.

He was jailed Saturday on probation violation for drinking alcohol.

If his probation is revoked, Williams faces up to nine years in prison.

He was being held in Douglas County Jail.
