Bradenton Beach police arrested Cliff Hall, 43, of Missouri, Jan. 27 for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Officer Thomas Ferrara noticed a vehicle weaving in and out of the bike lane in the 2000 block of Gulf Drive North and conducted a traffic stop.
The motorist, Hall, smelled of alcohol, according to the police report.
When asked for his license, Hall produced a credit card and appeared unable to understand the officer’s request, the report stated.
Ferrara contacted the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and a deputy arrived to test Hall for intoxication.
Hall was arrested and charged with DUI, which carries the possibility of a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, loss of a driver’s license for six months and 50 hours of community service.
Hall was released after paying a $120 bond.
His arraignment will be at 8:55 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, at the Judicial Center in Bradenton.
