JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WDNews) — Deputies arrested Tyler James Coday on Monday, Dec. 23, after he was found to be driving under the influence at a gas station.
The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. when witnesses reported seeing a vehicle drive onto a curb. The driver, later identified as Coday, exited the vehicle and urinated near a garbage can.
When deputies arrived, they noted that Coday appeared unsteady, smelled strongly of alcohol, and struggled to answer basic questions. He consented to field sobriety exercises but was unable to perform them successfully.
Coday admitted to consuming a 750 ml bottle of whiskey before driving. He was transported to the Jackson County Correctional Facility, where his breath alcohol content was measured at 0.257, more than three times the legal limit.
Coday is now facing charges for Driving Under the Influence.
