Orange County DUI Defense Lawyer :: Zombie-Eyed Woman Dressed as Pig in Bathing Suit Charged with DUI on Halloween

November 7, 2013

A woman wearing “zombie” contact lenses and dressed as a “pig in a nude color bathing suit” for Halloween was arrested and charged with driving under the influence last week, according to an arrest report.

The 26-year-old Orlando woman, a water-sports athlete, was pulled over around 2 a.m. Friday for driving a Chevy Cavalier erratically on Orange Avenue, according to the report.

The woman, whose occupation is a wake skater, allegedly failed sobriety tests after she was stopped by a police officer.

She apparently agreed to a breath test that registered her blood-alcohol level at .120 and .121 more than an hour after she was pulled over.

The legal limit for Florida drivers is .08.

It is unknown where the woman was going or where she was coming from when she was pulled over.

According to reports, the arresting officer spotted her driving southbound on Orange Avenue north of Holden Avenue at 1:55 a.m. The officer claims he observed her car weaving in and out of traffic for several miles.

The deputy said the woman had an odor of alcohol on her, red eyes, slurred speech and apparently admitted to consuming alcohol.

The woman was asked to perform field-sobriety tests, and was arrested after she allegedly failed these tests.

The report indicated the woman was wearing zombie contact lenses and was dressed as a pig in a nude colored bathing suit.

She was taken to the Orange County DUI Center, where breath tests were taken just after 3 a.m.

The woman was then transported to the county jail.
