Authorities made several DUI arrests over the weekend, including a woman who bared her chest to a deputy and a suspect who crashed head-on into a parked car.
The weekend started around 9 p.m. Friday when a deputy was sent to the intersection of Cortez Boulevard and Commercial Way to investigate multiple reports of a reckless driver.
On arrival, the deputy saw traffic driving around a black Mercedes stopped at the intersection. The car was pulled over at Commercial Way and Country Lane and as the deputy stepped out of his cruiser, he noticed the Mercedes was in reverse gear.
Despite the deputy's shouts to "stop," the Mercedes continued its path into the cruiser's front bumper. As the car's driver, Tina Lopez, 49, stepped out of the car, she grabbed the deputy's arm multiple times to keep her balance, according to a report.
Lopez showed other signs of intoxication, so she was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which she reportedly failed. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of DUI and, while the deputy waited for backup, "felt it necessary" to expose her chest, a report states.
She was taken to the county jail on charges of DUI and DUI with property damage, where she reportedly supplied a blood alcohol level of .111 and .108. Florida law presumes intoxication at .08.
On Saturday, shortly before 1 a.m., a deputy performing an off duty detail pulled over a car on Commercial Way for reportedly traveling 83 mph in a 60 mph zone.
A traffic deputy performed field sobriety tests on the car's driver, Janice Adcock, 49, which indicated she was impaired, according to a report.
Adcock was taken to jail on suspicion of DUI, where she reportedly provided a blood alcohol level of .169 and .165.
Two hours later, in Brooksville, a resident of Oak Street was startled awake when a motorist crashed into a parked car. The witness stepped outside to find the driver, later identified by police as Ian Darby, passed out behind the wheel.
Police determined that Darby had driven west instead of east on the one-way street at the time of the collision, which caused "major" damage.
Darby, 26, was arrested on a charge of DUI with property damage.
