60-year-old Desiree Pace was charged with driving under the influence and complied consent after swerving down Sweetbriar Avenue on a flat tire and almost hitting a pedestrian.
On March 4th, officers responded to a call on Sweetbriar Avenue after two witnesses observed a vehicle with a flat tire swerving and almost hitting a pedestrian. The witnesses told police they were able to convince the driver, identified as Desiree Pace, to pull over so they could change her flat tire.
When officers arrived, they observed Desiree passed out in the driver’s seat with the keys still in the ignition. Officers were able to eventually wake her up and at that point noticed the odor of alcohol on her breath. She also became very uncooperative. Officers asked Desiree to complete the standard field sobriety tests, and she refused.
Desiree told officers she was driving and admitted to drinking alcohol while driving. She further admitted that she knew drinking and driving was bad, but she just wanted a ride home and she wasn’t sure how the got the flat tire. She also wasn’t sure of her current location. Officers asked Desiree to get out of the vehicle and noted she was very unsteady on her feet and needed to use the vehicle for support.
Desiree Pace was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence and Implied Consent. Her bond was set at $1,000.
