A 24-year-old woman in a golf cart was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence after police were called to an altercation in Spanish Springs.

Desiree Leann Farmer of Fruitland Park is free on $6,000 bond following her arrest early Sunday morning on charges of driving under the influence and driving while license suspended.

Police were called at 1:57 a.m. Sunday to the 1100 block of Main Street where Farmer was involved in an altercation with the driver of a GMC in a parking lot, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department.

It was determined that Farmer’s driver’s license had been suspended in June for failure to pay a traffic fine.

She failed field sobriety exercises.

In the golf cart, small plastic cups containing a Jello-like substance were discovered. There were two open containers of Busch Light beer and a half-full bottle of Jim Beam whiskey was found on the floorboard of the golf cart, according to the arrest report.

She refused to provide a breath sample.

When asked how much she had to drink, Farmer replied, “I couldn’t even tell you.”

She was booked at the Lake County Jail and released after posting bond.
