Holmes Beach police arrested Avon Park resident Miranda Lee, 39, April 29 on a second-degree misdemeanor for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
Two officers were finishing a traffic stop when another motorist parked behind their patrol vehicle.
An officer spoke to the driver, Lee, who was lost and asking for directions, but had “glassy” eyes and smelled like alcohol.
Lee, who said she’d suffered from past brain injuries, admitted to having an alcoholic drink before driving, according to a report.
The officer asked Lee to exit her vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises, which she failed.
She was arrested and transported to the Holmes Beach Police Department, where she registered breath samples with results of 0.112 and 0.108 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.
The state’s legal blood alcohol level limit for driving under the influence is 0.08.
An officer transported Lee to the Manatee County jail, where she was released April 30 after posting $120 bond.
If convicted, punishment for a second-degree misdemeanor includes up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
An arraignment will be at 8:55 a.m. Thursday, June 1, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
