The man had no memory of hitting the pole.
People making the decision to drive while under the influence is no laughing matter. It causes numerous car wrecks each year as well as all sorts of destruction. Still, people who end up with a DUI charge can sometimes find themselves in precarious situations. This happened recently at a gas station in Florida when an alleged drunk driver caused total mayhem.
There are far too many options for people to decide to drive while under the influence
7-Eleven is one of the most popular gas stations in the country. However, one in Leesburg, Florida, was recently the site of a man who decided to drive while under the influence getting his DUI charge. According to Leesburg-News, the Fruitland Park Police Department responded to a “suspicious incident” at the store earlier this month before 2 a.m. Once on the scene, the officers found the man passed out in a blue Ford vehicle and not wearing pants.
Regarding the previously mentioned incident, this 24-year-old man had crashed into a pole at the gas station. It became clear that he was the only occupant of the vehicle. The report goes on to say that the police saw a wet pair of pants in the passenger seat and two open cans of beer. At this point, the police probably knew that the man had decided to drive while under the influence. They then asked for his driver’s license, and he gave them an ID from Mexico. After looking into the man’s history, the officers learned he had never had a license in the U.S.
Once he was out of the Ford vehicle, the officers noticed that the man had bloodshot eyes and he also swayed while standing, which are signs of a person having decided to drive while under the influence. After finding another officer to translate, they began asking about the man’s night. The police learned that he had consumed alcohol at a party but that he could not remember how much. Apparently, he had gone to 7-Eleven to get more alcohol before going home.
In the end, he refused standardized field sobriety testing. However, his later breath samples showed that he was over the legal limit. He later posted a $1,500 bond.
