A man in Vero Beach, was arrested for DUI after a Indian River County Sheriff's deputy noticed Kerpens Clercira, 25, having visible difficulty maintaining his lane - he was also traveling at about 5 MPH on a road with a limit of 45 MPH.
The deputy made the traffic stop at around 2:40 A.M. on U.S. 1. - according to the arrest affidavit obtained by Off the Beat w/Will Greenlee, Clercira slurred his speech and couldn't follow instructions, such as requests to keep his hands by his side.
Another deputy introduced himself to Clercira, and extended his hand.
"Clercira in turn extended his hand in an attempt to shake my hand; however, he missed my hand," the affidavit states.
During the course of the stop, Clercira admitted to drinking 2 margaritas - hours earlier and then subsequently failed the roadside sobriety tests. It was determined that Clercira had a BAC of between 0.283 and 0.318 -- more than three times the legal limit of 0.08. He was then arrested for DUI and taken into custody.
