An officer was stopped by a concerned citizen who stated they saw an intoxicated female get into a white lexus and drive away. The officer spotted the vehicle and followed it as it hit a barricade in the road and then continued to drive very slowly. The officer continually tried to get the vehicle to stop with the overhead lights but the defendant continued driving. The Defendant stated she was going in the wrong direction and “she had a buzz on”. She performed poorly on roadsides and smelled like alcohol with glassy eyes. She could not state the alphabet correctly and was arrested. She refused to give a sample of her breath at the jail. The State of Florida after plea negotiations with the firm agreed to dismiss the charges for DUI.
