A Villager who went drinking at the town square and was later found sleeping in his car at a postal station, will lose his driver’s license for six months.
Geoffrey Thomas Squire, 70, of the Village of De La Vista South, was found March 13 by a member of Sumter County EMS at the postal station on Morse Boulevard, north of County Road 466. An EMS crew member shook the car and knocked on a window to wake up Squire. When Squire was roused, he tried to drive away. The EMS crew member seized the car’s keys.
Squire indicated he had been at “the square,” according to the arrest report. He said he must have fallen asleep in the postal station parking lot. He failed field sobriety exercises and provided breath samples that registered .163 and .155 blood alcohol content.
Last week in Sumter County Court, he entered a plea of no contest in the case.
He will lose his license for six months, has been placed on probation for a year and ordered to perform 75 hours of community service.
