Motorist arrested for DUI

 

 

A 58-year-old Sugarloaf Key man found disoriented in a parked car on U.S. 1 was arrested Friday for DUI after it was discovered he had a blood alcohol content of .434.

 

The legal limit in Florida is .08.

 

Joseph Roland Parker was found by U.S. Navy personnel in the left, northbound lane in a parked Ford Mustang at approximately 1:13 a.m.

 

The Sheriff’s Office responded and found Parker unable to stand on his own or speak clearly. He was confused as to where he was and what time it was. He had watery, bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol.

 

He was taken to Lower Keys Medical Center due to the level of alcohol in his system and was later booked into jail.
