Holmes Beach police arrested resident Loren Snyder III, 45, Dec. 9 on a second-degree misdemeanor for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
An officer saw a motorist on Holmes Boulevard around 1:45 a.m. driving a vehicle slowly, failing to stop at two intersections.
The officer approached the motorist, later identified as Snyder, after he parked in the driveway of his home.
Snyder allegedly told the officer he’d had a “few” drinks earlier that night, and the officer asked him to perform field sobriety exercises, which he failed.
The officer issued a citation for driving an unregistered LSV and arrested Snyder, who refused to provide breath samples so police could gauge his blood/alcohol level.
Snyder was taken to the Manatee County jail and released the same day 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. Tuesday, Jan. 9, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
