of alcohol. Brady had been to a friend’s house and a local restaurant. Brady
told the officer she knew she was driving the wrong way but could not remember
how she got there.

officer’s report noted that Brady had blood shot eyes and slurred speech. The
officer had to ask her two times to get out of her car to take field sobriety
tests.
During
the field sobriety tests Brady became combative. A blood alcohol test revealed

over the legal limit will need to contact an Orlando DUI attorney immediately.

be able to have your charges reduced and avoid stiff penalties.
