A 49-year-old Village of Duval woman will lose her driver’s license for the rest of her life after being convicted of a golf cart DUI.
It is the fourth drunk-driving conviction for Debra Marie Bellodi.
She was also sentenced to eight months in jail after pleading no contest in the case earlier this month. She is currently in a residential treatment program and will spend up to six months there. When she completes residential treatment, she will spend the remaining time in jail, court records indicated. She was also fined $262.50 and ordered to pay $686 in court costs.
She had been arrested in December when she was driving a blue Yahama golf cart, screaming and using profanities in the parking lot of Lady Lake Specialty Care on Griffin Avenue, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. She was also threatening to kill herself, the arrest report indicated.
Police caught up with her in the parking lot of nearby North Lake Presbyterian Church.
When police asked her if she’d had anything to drink, she said she’d had “a couple.”
She failed field sobriety exercises and refused to submit to a breath test.
Police found that she was already on probation as the result of a drunk driving arrest in 2014. You can read more about that arrest and her sentencing HERE
