THE BREVARD COUNTY JAIL, FL --
The Blake Moia Show obtained a file dump of the arrests that took place on New Years Eve. Today, we are reporting on the dangerous folks who put others' lives at risk by deciding to drive a vehicle -- a potentially deadly weapon -- while under the influence of alcohol. There's a zero-tolerance policy for DUI here in Brevard County as there are simply other options to consider before getting behind the wheel while impaired.
In total, there were nine DUI related arrests, and 1 dangerous high-speed pursuit in our area during the overnight NYE festivities.
The suspects are technically considered "innocent until proven guilty" once tried in a court of law.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office arrested 72-year-old Stephen Mark Hall after they received a call for service regarding an elderly male who was passed out in his truck behind the wheel in the parking lot at 220 A1A in Satellite Beach.
The arrest report says the truck was displaying "Trump" stickers all over the truck, as described by the 911 caller.
When deputies arrived and made contact with Hall, they reported that he was slow to get out of his truck, held on to the door for balance and staggered his way to the front of the deputy's patrol car.
Standard field sobriety tests were performed, and Hall failed every test. Hall also missed every single step performed in the straight-line walk.
Hall was arrested and transported for booking, where he blew a .109 and a .104 on the breathalyzer. He bonded out of jail prior to first appearance.
Palm Bay Police responded to a call of criminal mischief in the area of Thor Ave in Palm Bay. The victim reported their tire was slashed out and the suspect fled the area in a grey Honda Civic. After the victim told officers that he would like to pursue charges, officers began to canvass the area and ultimately located the grey Honda Civic on Port Malabar Road and Babcock Road which was driven by 21-year-old Travis Burroughs.
