Joshua Rodriguez of Cape Coral was charged with driving under the influence after Sanibel Police observed his vehicle traveling slowly east on Sanibel Captiva Road after 1 a.m. Wednesday, June 23.
The officer clocked Rodriguez’s vehicle traveling 23 mph in a 35 mph zone and “pinging” between the lines in the eastbound lane without leaving the lane or roadway, according to the report. When the officer approached Rodriguez’s vehicle, a strong smell of marijuana emitted from it.
Rodriguez exited his vehicle for a field sobriety test, but exhibited signs of being under the influence. He failed the field sobriety test and was transported to the Lee County Jail, where a breath test showed no alcohol in his system. He refused to take a urine test and was booked into the jail. He was released June 23 on a $1,000 bond.
