The state’s case against a Bradenton resident arrested in Holmes Beach for driving under the influence of alcohol hasn’t moved forward after a month.
An April 8 arraignment for Jordan Thurman, 22, was continued since the state attorney’s office had yet to file official charges and the defendant failed to appear for the hearing.
Holmes Beach police arrested Thurman March 6 after she was caught speeding and failed field sobriety tests during a traffic stop, according to a Holmes Beach Police Department arrest report.
Thurman refused to provide breath samples for blood/alcohol tests when asked at the HBPD.
She was transported to the Manatee County jail, where she was released March 6 after posting a $120 bail bond.
Police charged Thurman with a second-degree misdemeanor for the incident, but the SAO had not filed charges against her as of April 9.
Thurman pleaded “not guilty” April 7.
A pretrial conference will be at 1:25 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
The second-degree misdemeanor charge carries varying punishments, including fines and up to nine months in prison for a first conviction.
