Holmes Beach police arrested Bradenton resident Victoria Horton, 23, Aug. 23 on a second-degree misdemeanor for driving under the influence.
Horton’s passenger, Destin Falls, was arrested on a first-degree misdemeanor charge for violating a domestic injunction.
An officer conducted a traffic stop on a motorist who had been tailgating him and driving erratically.
The officer spoke with the driver, Horton, and smelled burnt marijuana, so he asked if she had smoked marijuana.
“The driver started to cry and stated just one blunt,” a police report states.
The officer called dispatch for backup, an officer that could perform a DUI investigation.
In the meantime, the officer spoke with a passenger, Falls, and obtained identification.
The officer did a database search and found there was an injunction of protection against domestic violence against Falls, with Horton as the protected person.
The officer arrested Falls and transported him to the Manatee County jail.
A Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputy arrived and asked Horton to perform field sobriety exercises, which she failed.
The deputy arrested Horton and transported her to the jail, where she was released the same day after posting $120 bond.
If convicted, punishment for a second-degree misdemeanor includes up to 60 days and a fine of up to $500.
Falls was released Aug. 26 after posting a $500 bond.
Punishment for a first-degree misdemeanor includes up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

An arraignment for Falls will be at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 10, at the Manatee County Judicial Center.
