Land O’ Lakes man pleads no contest to DUI

A Land O’ Lakes man pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence in 12th Circuit Court.

Brian Hull, 36, who refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test after an August 2016 arrest in Holmes Beach, was adjudicated guilty.

Judge Robert Farrance sentenced Hull to 12 months probation, crediting him for time served in jail, in a Feb. 23 order.

Hull was ordered to complete DUI school, attend a victim-impact panel and perform 50 hours of public service.

The judge also suspended Hull’s driving privileges for six months, allowing an exception for business purposes.

In the charges, the state considered a passenger under 18 was in the vehicle Hull was driving, as well as a prior license suspension for refusing a BAC test.

The judge also assessed Hull more than $1,870 in court costs and fines.
