A Niceville woman was charged with DUI driving under the influence after she fell off of her bicycle while an Okaloosa County Sheriff ’s deputy was driving down the street. The woman was on Pine Street when she fell down, left her bicycle in the roadway and walked away from the deputy, who asked her to remove it, according to a Sheriff ’s Office report. Instead of complying, she “staggered away towards the house,” and the deputy followed her, the report stated The report said the deputy could smell alcohol and that the woman had difficulty with the DUI field sobriety test. She was so unsteady on her feet that he noted in the report that he thought it was “unsafe” for her to continue try to pass the test. She told him she had only one drink in the morning. It was about 11 a.m. June 17 when the deputy encountered her. On the breath test, she had a 0.22 and 0.22 BAC.
