Woman Dropping Child Off At School Charged With DUI After Crashing Into Car

Feb. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- A 39-year-old mother was arrested and charged with DUI and DUI with property damage after crashing into another vehicle as she was pulling into a parking space. She then left the vehicle unattended, and on foot.  

Police that responded to the scene, reported that she was under the influence of a controlled substance.  She consented to a series of voluntary field sobriety exercises, where she reportedly failed.  She was then arrested and charged with DUI, DUI with property damage, leaving the scene of an accident with unattended property, and child neglect.

Setting aside the more serious charges, according to Florida Law, leaving the scene of an accident resulting only in damage to a vehicle or other property which is driven or attended by a person, shall immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident, or as close there to as possible, and shall forthwith return to, and in every event shall remain at the scene.

Any person failing to stop, or comply with Florida Law, shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $500, or by imprisonment for not more than 60 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
