Florida woman allegedly drives drunk onto beach, narrowly misses families: cops
A Florida woman was arrested for allegedly driving drunk and nearly running over families on a beach at Smyrna Dunes Park on Saturday.
Police body camera footage showed Sarah Ramsammy, 26, of Orlando, standing on the beach alongside a half-submerged blue SUV, according to Fox 35 in Orlando.
“I was the driver, and they kinda stopped us, and they said that we almost hit a child,” Ramsammy told cops. “I didn’t think that we did, but that’s what they told us.”
“People are down here because you can’t drive on this part of the beach,” officers from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office told Ramsammy and another unidentified woman.
“We were just trying to turn around, we didn’t think we could do a u-turn around here, so we were just trying to keep going,” Ramsammy replied.
A Sheriff’s deputy told Ramsammy that she was going to jail for driving under the influence.
Ramsammy quickly said “OK” and nodded her head.
She turned around, and officers handcuffed her.
Charges against the woman were not immediately available on Sunday night.
