WKMG Local 6




DUNNELLON, Florida (WKMG) - A Marion County woman has been arrested on driving under the influence charges after she was found inside a car naked from the waist down with empty boxed wine and her dog in the vehicle.

Karen Worley Drake, 51, was charged with DUI after she failed sobriety exercises and refused to give breath samples on Sunday night.

Drake's car was parked halfway onto SW 129th Terrace Road, when a deputy noticed her and proceeded to have her open the car door.

"I could smell a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage," the deputy said in the report. The deputy instructed Drake to dress herself.

"I advised the defendant that she was under arrest for DUI and she became uncooperative and briefly struggled with me," the deputy said.

She remains in the Marion County Jail with a $1,000 bond, while the dog was placed into the custody of Marion County Animal Services.

You can get a DUI in a parked car?

If the keys are in the ignition, yes.

If the keys are in the ignition, yes.

Wow, I didn't know that. I assume not in your own driveway though.

Probably not, but I think if a cop witnessed you pulling into your driveway and he thought you were under the influence, that might constitute probable cause, so I dunno

But if you pulled into your driveway and nobody saw it, and you were drunk and passed out, then I doubt you could get a ticket.

Note to self, buy a push button start ignition car.

I had a buddy who was a county sheriff back in Vermont and he said if for some reason you had ever been drinking while driving and you decide to pull over and pass out, make sure to pull the keys and toss them in the back seat.

That's our rule...if the keys are in the ignition and accessible, it doesn't matter where the car is parked. Our advice was to throw the keys out the window...
