Manatee County sheriff’s deputies arrested Kentucky resident Tabitha Renee Engle, 38, July 5 for allegedly driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Officers from the Bradenton Beach Police Department noticed Engle’s vehicle cross the median in a roundabout at the west end of Bridge Street, then swerve into the left lane as it continued north on Gulf Drive.
After officers conducted a traffic stop, Engle fell out of her vehicle and began to run, according to a BBPD report.
Officers detained Engle after a brief pursuit.
The MCSO dispatched a traffic officer, who arrested Engle on suspicion of DUI. She was transported to the Manatee County jail and her vehicle was towed from the scene.
Engle was released July 6 after posting a $120 bond.
