After catching some Z's after having a little too much to drink, one drunk Edmonton cop was forced to face the heat.

According to a disciplinary hearing released Monday, August 10, Const. Roxanne Heppner got suspended for 60 hours after RCMP found her asleep and intoxicated in the passenger seat of a parked car.

She provided a single breathalyzer sample after 16 attempts from RCMP to obtain one.

The car also had a worn-out tire, a damaged side mirror, and was parked at a local pub.
