A Villager has been sentenced to 10 days in jail after he was caught driving after his license was suspended for drunk driving.
Brian Allen Leavitt, 58, of the Village of Summerhill, was ordered to serve time behind bars after pleading no contest Tuesday to a charge of driving while license suspended in Sumter County Court.
He was caught driving a vehicle in March during a traffic stop at Mister Car Wash on County Road 466A in Wildwood.
Leavitt lost his license after he was involved in a crash July 22, 2022 in Wildwood when he failed to stop at a stop sign and his vehicle struck a Toyota pickup which had been southbound on Main Street, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. Leavitt was leaving the SNJ liquor store and it appeared he had been drinking. A full plastic pint bottle of Smirnoff vodka was found under his seat. Leavitt was transported by ambulance to the emergency room facility at Trailwinds Village. A blood sample was collected while he was receiving medical treatment. The sample was sent for testing to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and later showed that Leavitt had a blood alcohol level of .203. A warrant was obtained for his arrest.
He was later charged with violating his probation by consuming alcohol.
