A golf cart driver in Holmes Beach was arrested on April Fool’s Day for driving under the influence.
Wearing shorts, T-shirt and sandals, Kevin Berlin, 41, of Canton, Michigan, was pulled over at 1:41 a.m. April 1 in the 4500 block of Gulf Drive.
Holmes Beach Police Officer Alan Bores stopped Berlin, noticing the cart’s headlights were off.
Berlin said he’d drank two or three beers and was “just trying to get back home” to rental property on 46th Street where he was vacationing, Bores’ report stated.
Berlin agreed to take field-sobriety tests, which, according to the report, he had difficulty performing.
Bores transported Berlin to the police station, where he gave breath samples measuring 0.138 and 0.143 blood-alcohol content, the report stated.
Berlin was cited for driving without headlights and charged with DUI.
His arraignment on the DUI is set for 8:25 a.m. Wednesday, May 2, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
