Holmes Beach police arrested Bradenton resident Casey Adt, 32, June 3 on a second-degree misdemeanor charge for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
An officer stopped a motorist, later identified as Adt, without a functioning license plate lights around 2:39 a.m. in the 3000 block of Avenue C. Also, the plate was expired.
Adt appeared to be intoxicated and refused to listen to the officer’s commands, so when backup arrived, the officers had him exit the vehicle and placed him in handcuffs, according to a report.
Adt refused to perform field sobriety exercises.

An officer transported Adt to the Manatee County jail, where he was released the same day after posting $500 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, July 15, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
