A drunk driving suspect was arrested after swerving across the road and almost sideswiping another driver, before pulling over at the entrance to Water Oak in Lady Lake.
An officer observed 21-year-old Shaniah Takirra Damu Bernadin of Dundee traveling 64 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone at the south end of Lady Lake around 12:55 a.m. Sunday, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. She slowed down to 46 mph for a green light at the intersection of Eagles Nest Road and U.S. Hwy. 27/441.
The vehicle, a silver Toyota Corolla, then accelerated again to 52 mph. The officer began to follow it to run its tag, during which the vehicle slowed to 35 mph. It proceeded to swerve over into the bicycle lane near the Cove Apartments, 735 S U.S. Hwy. 27/441, where it stayed for two tenths of a mile, the report said.
On multiple occasions, the vehicle hit the white fog line on the right side of the road and crossed the dashed white lines on the left side of the lane. The officer subsequently turned on his emergency lights, to which the vehicle signaled to change lanes and almost sideswiped another driver, the report said…
