The golf cart drunk who dumped the woman on the road lived in the Village of Gilchrist and his bond was $25,000 and the Sun reported this morning he was already out on bail. Wonder who had the $2,500 to pay the bondsman? bet it was his drinking buddy father. That's the first mistake, let them sit and stew in the jail for a few days, that should sober them up.



Here's a new one from Village News'

35-year-old resident of Village of Hemingway sentenced in drunk driving case

A 35-year-old man who lives in the Village of Hemingway has been sentenced in connection with a drunk driving arrest this past December.



James Anthony Sosso was arrested Dec. 10 after Lady Lake police had received a complaint about about a BMW which was parked at the Lady Lake Car Wash on U.S. Hwy. 27/441. When an officer asked the Sosso what he was doing, he replied, “I was just sitting here sobering up before I headed home.”

The officer observed empty beers cans underneath the car and a case of beer in the backseat.

Sosso failed field sobriety exercises and later provided a urine sample as part of the DUI investigation.

Last month he entered a plea of no contest in the case in Lake County Court.

He was placed on probation for 12 months, ordered to perform 25 hours of community service was told by the judge not to possess or consume alcohol. He can “buy out” of community service at a rate of $10 per hour. He was ordered to attend DUI school, but can opt out if he takes part in an in-patient treatment program.
