Francisco Mancera Parra, 55, was arrested in Holmes Beach for driving under the influence at more than twice the legal limit for blood alcohol.
Officer Alan Bores, traveling behind a southbound blue Ford, observed the vehicle weaving in its lane and crossing the center lines in the 3900 block of Gulf Drive.
Bores stopped the vehicle near 34th Street and the driver identified himself as “Miguel Mancera” but, after an investigation, the officer identified the man as Francisco Mancera Parra.
Parra and his passenger told Bores they were coming from the Doctor’s Office, where Parra said he had “a couple drinks,” according to the police report.
Parra performed a field test, during which he allegedly lost his balance.
The report states the passenger also was intoxicated and police arranged for the vehicle to be towed.
Parra was transported to the Manatee County jail, where he provided breath samples measuring 0.203 and 0.193 blood alcohol content. The legal limit is 0.08.
In his report, Bores noted the arrest was Parra’s third DUI in 10 years.
Parra posted a $500 bond and was released.
His arraignment is set for 8:25 a.m. Wednesday, April 18, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
