BCSO: Melbourne Woman Arrested for DUI After Speeding 30 MPH Over Limit

Alexandra Smartt arrested by BCSO

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Sometimes we make decisions that aren’t very smart…and sometimes those decisions earn you a trip to jail.

You know, decisions like the ones made early yesterday morning by Alexandra Smartt. (Get it…see the play on words we did right there).

Well, anyway, yesterday morning, Deputy LeDoux was conducting traffic enforcement on US-1 in Melbourne, when he clocked Smartt’s car going 85mph in a 55mph zone. Upon stopping the vehicle, the driver, Alexandra Smartt, seemed to be struggling when asked for her license.

Smartt told Deputy LeDoux that she was coming from a birthday party, and she left the party because she doesn’t drink alcohol.

Well, as she exited the vehicle and had to use it for stabilization, she was asked how much she had to drink, which she said “one old-fashioned,” which is odd because the universal answer for have you been drinking tonight is usually “two!”

As you might imagine, the roadside sobriety exercises didn’t go too well, and inevitably Smartt blew a 0.139.

Unfortunately for her, this was the end of her drive and the beginning of her courtesy ride in our guest services shuttle to Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge for driving under the influence.

You know, folks, with all of the ride-share options available these days, there’s no reason to drink and drive. If you choose to drink, make the “smart” choice to arrange a designated driver and stop putting your life and everyone else’s at risk.
