Woman Asks Cops "Can You Block the Wind?" During DUI Test - Then Gets Arrested

Woman Asks Cops "Can You Block the Wind?" During DUI Test - Then Gets Arrested On February 23, 2024, Charlotte County deputies investigated a black Infiniti driven by Amanda Patton. What began with questions about her driving quickly escalated into a series of roadside sobriety tests. Amanda struggled with balance, counting, and following instructions. She repeatedly blamed the wind for her difficulties, while deputies documented multiple signs they believed indicated impairment. But there was a much bigger concern: two young children were sitting inside her vehicle. Could prescription medication explain her behavior? Were the field sobriety tests enough to justify an arrest?
