Police found a man sleeping in a gutter about 6:30 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Ridge Road. When an officer came up next to him and tried to wake him, he was slow to awaken, but finally shook his head and got up, said Capt. Bobby Miller of the Berkeley Police Department. 

Police officers identified him, and they learned there was a parole warrant for his arrest and another warrant for the misdemeanor of driving with a suspended license. 

When they searched the suspect they found an unidentified substance they believed to be half of a gram of methamphetamine in his pocket. They also found what appeared to be burglary tools, keys and other tools with the edges filed off to make them useful in breaking open locks. 

Douglas Floyd Parker was arrested on charges of parole violation and driving with a suspended license.
