A woman with an open bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey in a bag was arrested for driving a golf cart on Florida's busiest interstate while drunk, according to an arrest report.
The woman, 58, was arrested Saturday night on the shoulder of Interstate 95. She faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication in a public place and resisting an officer without violence.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, a semitruck driver spotted the woman driving in the golf cart in the center lane of Interstate 95 in Brevard County, the heart of Florida's Space Coast. The truck driver used her semi to steer the golf cart driver to the shoulder of the interstate, troopers said.
On the shoulder, the truck driver grabbed the keys to the golf cart as the woman tried to drive away. As troopers arrived at the scene, the woman started arguing and insisted she needed her bag. Inside the bag, troopers found an open bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire Whiskey, authorities said.
Interstate 95, which stretches up and down the East Coast, is Florida's busiest interstate highway, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
