Future DUI:    • British Girl Punches Cop During SECOND DUI...   Around 1:11 AM on September 29, 2021, Officer Gregory Barlaug with the Tampa Police Department observed the driver of a red 2011 Ford Edge fail to obey a traffic control signal on E Twiggs Street. He turned around onto N Nebraska Avenue and observed the vehicle make an illegal right turn on red as it turned onto E Kennedy Boulevard. The driver continued swerving an speeding, and a check of the vehicle’s registration indicated that the owner had a suspended Florida driver’s license. After the driver made a northbound turn onto University Drive, he initiated a traffic stop. He exited the vehicle and made contact with the driver of the Ford, who was identified as 21-year-old Emily Smith. As he was speaking with Emily, he observed indicators of impairment and asked her how much she had to drink. Emily initially denied having anything to drink, she would later admit to consuming 2 glasses of Cabernet a few hours prior. She told the officer that she had been doing her homework at American Social and that she was dropping off her passengers to The Patio, which is a bar in Tampa. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Emily was asked to perform field sobriety exercises. After the field sobriety exercises were completed, Officer Barlaug determined that Emily was too impaired to drive. Based on her erratic driving, the odor of alcohol, her indicators of impairment, and her inability to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises, Officer Barlaug told Emily that she was being placed under arrest for DUI. Before she was placed in handcuffs, she was allowed to make a phone call. Another officer arrived on scene to stay with the car until it could be towed. Emily was transported to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (Orient Road Jail) for further processing. At the jail, she agreed to submit breath samples. Her breathalyzer results indicated BAC levels of 0.094% and 0.096%, which was over the legal limit of 0.08%. She was charged with a DUI (316.193(1)(A)) and eventually released pending her court appearance. Emily was later again for by the Tampa Police Department after driving under the influence on February 20, 2022. ---------------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
