Cops: Man awaiting sobriety test takes last swig
May 03 2010
BELLEVIEW, Fla.— Authorities said a central Florida man took one last swig of alcohol while waiting to take a sobriety test. Marion County Sheriff's deputies stopped 61-year-old Dana Seaman after noticing his car swerve three times. Seaman said he'd been drinking and agreed to a sobriety test. But first, Deputy Eric Larson said he watched Seaman drink from a cup, and toss it under the passenger seat. According to a police report, the cup, when retrieved as evidence, smelled strongly of alcohol.
Seaman refused a breath test. He has been charged with DUI.
A message left for Seaman was not immediately returned Monday. The individual who answered the phone explained that Seaman had gone to a local bar and might not be back for a couple of days.
