After knocking on the windows several times, officers eventually removed Jorge Zazueta from the vehicle.
Zazueta underwent a field sobriety test and was then arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Officers said they thought they heard a dog growling in the backseat of the car, but it was another man snoring.
That man, who officers said was also drunk, was taken to the CHP's drunk tank.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
