A Florida woman was charged with driving under the influence after she showed up at the Flagler County jail and demanding a conjugal visit with a specific inmate.
According to the sheriff's report, the 45-year-old woman had an appointment to visit the inmate, but was not allowed in because she was late. The Flagler County jail does not allow conjugal visits and it seemed to anger the woman before she left.
A short time later, however, the woman returned to the jail. Upon her return, the jail guards called road patrol because they witnessed signs that the woman had been drinking.
When the police found the woman, she was sitting in her car. The woman then took a field sobriety test that she allegedly failed before submitting to a breath test. The breath test showed that her blood-alcohol content was 0.256%, above the legal limit in Florida of 0.08%.
The woman was charged with DUI and later released on $500 bail. She now awaits trial and, if convicted, could face serious penalties that include; alcohol school, fines, community service, probation and jail time.
A DUI can happen to anyone, someone who is in desperation and stressed out, as it seems to be in this case, is more prone to drinking and driving. The woman was seeking to have a visit with an inmate but instead wounded up getting arrested for DUI. She now faces serious consequences that can adversely affect her life and may even land her in jail as well.
