Narrative:

Upon arrival into lga and after passenger deplaning, 1 passenger remained on board. The passenger appeared to be sleeping but on closer inspection, the passenger was very intoxicated. We eventually woke him and assisted him off the aircraft. After conversing with the flight attendant and asking if this passenger appeared to have been intoxicated when boarding, the flight attendant said no, he did not appear to be intoxicated or drunk. The passenger was very subdued and quiet.
