MALONE, Fla. (WDNews) — A woman was arrested Saturday morning after Jackson County deputies found her asleep behind the wheel at a gas pump — with alcohol on her breath and an open drink in the car.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to a Malone gas station around 7 a.m. on May 10 for reports of a suspected drunk driver. When they arrived, they found Ranketa Johnson asleep in her vehicle.
Deputies say they immediately noticed the smell of alcohol and spotted an open alcoholic beverage inside the vehicle. Johnson admitted she had been drinking and agreed to perform field sobriety tests, which she reportedly failed.
She was then taken to the Marianna Police Department, where breath tests showed alcohol levels of 0.088 and 0.099 — both above the legal limit.
Johnson was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence.
