BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A Barefoot Bay woman was arrested Saturday night for DUI and driving her golf car on I-95, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

State troopers say the investigation began when they received a report of several drivers seeing a golf cart being driven on the interstate.

When troopers arrived on scene, they found a semi truck on the shoulder with the golf cart near the area.

The semi truck driver told troopers she saw the driver of the golf cart, later identified as Diane Hawk, 58, of Barefoot Bay, passing out behind the wheel.

The semi truck driver proceeded to guide Hawk off the roadway and took the keys to the golf cart from her after Hawk tried to drive on the interstate again.

Troopers found an open alcohol bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire in her bag, the report stated.

The woman then became argumentative and combative as troopers were unable to administer field sobriety exercises for safety reasons.

Hawk was booked into the Brevard County Jail.
