DUI. A 28-year-old Ormond Beach woman told Daytona Beach police that the field sobriety exercises she was being asked to complete were "stupid," and that she knew what she was doing. Still, she failed them.
According to her arrest report, the woman had been involved in a three-car wreck. Police noted the woman had slurred speech and "glossy bloodshot eyes," and that she had to be reminded several times, by different officers, to provide her driver's license. During the breath test later on, she did not exhale long enough during a second attempt to provide a sample. Officers advised her that she could get her license suspended if she didn't submit to the second sample, but the woman said she didn't care.
She was taken to jail.
