Manatee County sheriff’s deputies arrested Holmes Beach resident Shanna Kennett, 36, Sept. 7 on a second-degree misdemeanor charge for driving under the influence of alcohol.
A Holmes Beach Police Department officer saw a golf cart stopped in the middle of 67th Street.
The officer approached the vehicle and found a woman, later identified as Kennett, sleeping behind the wheel. She was naked from the waist down with two open beer cans next to her.
The officer woke Kennett, who allegedly said she did not know where she was and admitted to drinking alcohol before driving the vehicle.
The officer called the MCSO for a DUI investigation and a deputy arrived and established probable cause to arrest Kennett for DUI. The deputy also issued a citation for possessing an open alcohol container.
The deputy arrested Kennett and transported her to the Manatee County jail, where she was released later that day after posting $120 bond.
An arraignment was not set as of Sept. 8.
