In Spring Hill, Florida, police are reporting that a woman bared her chest to officers after they stopped her for DUI. She also bared her chest to a suspect who had crashed head-on into a car that had been parked.
The story began when one of the police department's deputies was asked to investigate multiple reports of reckless driving by the intersection of Cortex Boulevard and Commercial Way. When the deputy arrived at the scene, he noticed that traffic had been traveling around a black Mercedes which was parked in the middle of the intersection. As the deputy stepped out of his vehicle, he noticed that the Mercedes was in reverse gear.
The deputy yelled for the driver to "stop", but the Mercedes continued in reverse and crashed into the officer's front bumper. The Mercedes driver, 49 year old Tina Lopez, then stepped out of the vehicle and proceeded to grab the deputy's arm many times so that she could maintain her balance.
Aside from being unbalanced, Lopez showed other signs of being under the influence, so she was asked to perform field sobriety tests. She failed each test and was placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. The deputy was waiting for back up when Lopez proceeded to show her chest.
After back up arrived, Lopez was taken to county jail and was charged with DUI and property damage - DUI. She had a blood alcohol concentration of .111%, which is much higher than the state's legal limit of .08%.
