A scantily clad woman suspected of driving under the influence was nabbed with open liquor and cocaine at a local restaurant.
Casey Nicole Roberts, 24, of Fruitland Park, was driving in the wee hours Tuesday on U.S. Hwy 27/441 when a police officer noticed she was unable to maintain a proper lane, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. A traffic stop was initiated at the Oakwood Smokehouse restaurant.
When the officer spoke to Roberts, it was noted she was “wearing only a T-shirt and underwear.” She had the “odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from her person” and her speech was slurred.
Roberts agreed to participate in field sobriety exercises, but her poor performance led the officer to conclude she had been driving impaired. A Surfside lemonade with vodka was found in the center console of her vehicle. It was still cold to the touch and there was a straw in the can. A strawberry-flavored vodka drink was also found in the vehicle.
A search of her purse turned up 2.74 grams of cocaine.
Roberts refused to submit to a breath test.
She was arrested on charges of driving under the influence, possession of cocaine and refusal to submit to a breath test. She was also ticketed for an open container violation. She was booked at the Lake County Jail and released after posting $5,000 bond.å
