An Anna Maria resident was arrested for driving under the influence and causing $5,000 damage in a head-on accident in Holmes Beach.
Holmes Beach Police Department arrested Jonathan A. Keyes, 39, at 9:28 p.m. Dec. 26, 2015, for DUI after investigating the accident involving his 2002 Dodge SUV and a Subaru wagon at 7200 Palm Drive.
Keyes also was ticketed for careless driving.
Emergency medical services responded and two passengers in the Subaru were transported for possible injuries to Blake Medical Center in Bradenton. The SUV was towed from the scene, according to the police report.
Officer Alan Bores reported signs of Keyes’ impairment and administered field sobriety tests. Keyes allegedly told the officer he had consumed “two beers” after work.
Keyes was transported to the Manatee County jail, where he provided breath samples measuring 0.219 and 0.213 blood alcohol content. The legal limit is 0.08 BAC.
He posted a $500 bond and was released.
On Jan. 6, Keyes’ attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Keyes’ arraignment is set for Jan. 27 at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
