A driver was arrested on a drunk driving charge after nearly running into a stop sign Wednesday night in Wildwood.
Latasha Marie Golphin, 43, of Coleman, had been at the wheel of a gold four-door 1997 Mercury that appeared to be speeding at 10:43 p.m. Wednesday on State Road 44, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. She made a U-turn and headed for County Road 213 where her vehicle nearly collided with a stop sign.
Golphin was unsteady on her feet, her speech was slurred and she could not annunciate her words, the report indicated. She denied she had been drinking.
She failed field sobriety tests and provided breath samples that registered .106 and .100 blood alcohol content.
She was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $500.
Golphin was issued written warnings for failure to maintain a single lane and speeding.
