Tenth Time is a Charm
Janet Landrum of Ellenton, Fla., was arrested on Saturday, August 23 for the tenth time for DUI. The 41-year-old woman has been arrested nine other times in the past 20 years in four states.
Landrum was driving with a passenger on Saturday at 2:20 am when she was pulled over for weaving, continually tapping on her brakes and making a wild lane change. Landrum had reportedly just met her passenger at the bar and was driving because the other person was too drunk to drive.
Deputy Lee Harrington arrested Landrum after she failed sobriety tests and had a .112 blood-alcohol level, according to a report.
Landrum has also been picked up for DUI in Kentucky in 1988, Tennessee in 1988 and 1993, Georgia in 1999 and 2001, and Florida in 2000, 2001, 2004, and 2005.
The records show that there was a second DUI arrest in 2002 but the charge was later reduced. Landrum could face up to five years in prison because of her number of convictions.
As long as no one is hurt or killed, a first DUI offense in Florida is considered a misdemeanor , but it becomes a felony if there is a third conviction within ten years.
