When deputies responded, they noted that Ferron seemed to be impaired. She reportedly failed a field sobriety test, but deputies ruled out alcohol. Ferron said she had taken prescription medication.

Ferron was charged with DUI and DUI with property damage. Since both charges are misdemeanors, the sheriff’s office reports that Ferron will be allowed to return to work pending an internal inquiry.

Florida penalties for a DUI with accident are considered more severe than an ordinary DUI charge.  When a crash is involved, the minimum charge is a 1^st degree misdemeanor which means the potential jail sentence is 1 year instead of 6 months.

D’Anne Leigh Mica was arrested in early 2010 on a charge of driving under the influence after police said she was stopped with a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit.  Mica’s Orlando defense attorney filed motions to suppress the stop of Mica’s vehicle based on the Maitland Police officer being outside his jurisdiction when he stopped her.  The basis for the stop was to “check on her well being.”  The defense successfully argued that there was in sufficient probable cause to follow the woman and make the stop. 

Specifically, the defense argued that police cannot leave their jurisdiction to “check” on people for a “well-being” check and therefore had no authority to stop Mica’s vehicle outside their jurisdiction.  

Prosecutors initially planned to appeal the ruling but last week decided to drop the case. A police report indicated that Mica, a 34-year-old public-relations executive, was driving east on Horatio Avenue early on Jan. 8 when her black SUV drifted back and forth.  An officer stopped her and asked if she was OK. He noticed the smell of alcohol on her breath and that her eyes were glassy and bloodshot, he wrote in the report.

Mica also reportedly failed two officer-administered breath tests, blowing a 0.192 percent and a 0.198 percent. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Our client was alleged to have driven his vehicle in a manner consistent with impaired drivers.  He was ultimately stopped for weaving outside of his lane and stopping his vehicle in an intersection causing other vehicles to swerve to avoid a accident.  As part of the litigators, we recommended he enrol in counseling for alcohol addiction.  We filed pre trial motions and conducted depositions.  During the depositions, we were able to convince the arresting officer and State Attorney to reduce the Felony DUI to a misdemeanor reckless driving.  As a result, our client was not sentenced to jail/prison and avoided the DUI lifetime driver license revocation.

Evidence was thrown out of the case against France and the DUI and drug possession charges were not pursued. All the evidence that Daytona Beach police piled up against France was thrown out because of a jurisdictional technicality.

France, 44, was arrested along with half brother Russell Van Richmond, 41, Oct. 8 by Daytona Beach police on charges of DUI and narcotics possession. The two men were pulled over after an officer saw them racing, then another officer saw France roll through a red light.

According to a police, France and Van Richmond were racing over the Seabreeze Bridge and Daytona Beach police stopped them. When police found both men, who were in separate cars and stopped in different places, they found cocaine on them, according to reports.

In an order earlier this month, Circuit Judge Patrick Kennedy said that France’s traffic infraction occurred within the city of Holly Hill and the officer who followed France made an “unlawful stop” of the vehicle because the officer was outside of his jurisdiction.

France won’t compete in this weekend’s Rolex Series event at Virginia International Raceway. He’s not expected to attend Saturday’s Bosch Engineering 250.

“Being out of the car was tough, not just for that race but since then, too,” France said. “Sometimes it takes losing something to understand its importance. I was getting a little ragged and needed a good kick in the butt; I got it.”

Wolfe was later found by Tavares police asleep in the driver’s seat of the car parked in a handicapped space at Florida Hospital Waterman just before 5 a.m.   Police also found a bottle of Kahlua and Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueurs and several pills of the prescription sleep aid Ambien in the car. According to police reports, Wolfe had a blood-alcohol level between .072 and .073 percent. The legal limit in Florida is .08. However, police charged her with DUI because she told officers she drank the alcohol and took the medication.  Because her blood alcohol level was under Florida’s legal limit, Wolfe’s driver’s license will not be administratively suspended.

Florida law allows for DUI charges to be prosecuted by way of the “impairment theory” due to alcohol amounts reacting differently in individuals.  Wolfe was booked into the Lake County Jail and later released after posting $750 bail.

These statistics were made available from The Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco.  The 2010 spring break lasted from March 2, 2010 through Sunday, March 28, 2010.

Of those arrested, 39 arrests were for selling or giving alcoholic beverages to the underage, 50 for providing false identification to a law enforcement officer, and four for narcotics,’ the agency said in a statement.  Most of the underage drinkers nabbed were caught in Panama City. Orlando had only four, said Alexis Lambert, a spokeswoman for the agency.

Earlier this month, agents targeted bars near the University of Central Florida UCF, on Patrick’s Day. Authorities arrested 23 minors for drinking alcohol at Knight Library and TD’s sports bars on March 17.  If f convicted, those charged could face 60 days in jail or pay a $500 fine.

According to law enforcement, Witt, 32, gave one of the students the keys to her vehicle which was later involved in an accident leading to the arrest of one of the teens who was driving. Witt resigned from her teaching position shortly after her arrest.

Witt was sentenced to 30 days Seminole County jail by the court and placed on years probation. During her sentencing, Judge Collins stated “We have to trust and have confidence in our teachers, and you violated that trust and that confidence. … We cannot accept this from teachers.”
