Oscar Mayorga accused of driving drunk in marked car

Body camera video released by the Eustis Police Department shows an Apopka police officer being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in his marked car.

The Apopka Police Department said Eustis police conducted a traffic stop on Oscar Mayorga, who was wearing his uniform. Mayorga, 25, was scheduled to work Monday evening when he was stopped, according to a news release.

Police said one of his two breath tests was 0.391g/210L, which in nearly five times over the legal limit in Florida.

According to an arrest affidavit, there was an open can of beer in the car’s cupholder and officers smelled alcohol on Mayorga’s breath. Mayorga told police he was on his way to work and that he took about three Benadryl pills a few hours before, according to the affidavit.

Mayorga was then asked to get out of his vehicle and he almost fell several times while walking to a nearby sidewalk, according to the Eustis Police Department.

Hate to nitpick, but that is 4x over the limit at an absolute level that is very nearly 5x the limit.

I think the scientific term of art is "obliterated".

Booze has ruined too many people’s lives.

30 years ago I was looking for something in a storage room of our office building and found a file cabinet full of empty beer cans. Eventually figured out it was a woman in my dept. who was day drinking on the job.

The company pres. was compassionate and said biz would pay for rehab but she declined it and I had to fire her.

It doesn’t work like that here in the Buckeye . I have a friend , retired deputy , that drives around completely blitzed . He just pulls out his retired cop card and they let him go every time . Sometimes they will follow him home to ensure his safety . I would say that if I was stopped slurring , stumbling , and wobbly I would get to stay in jail all night . But one beer is my limit . Point 08 is just about one and a half beers for a guy my size to blow yourself into jail and $2500 fine . Laws are for the dirt people .

I would hazard a guess that the same exact thing would have happened with Paul Pelosi if he hadn't caused an accident thus making it impossible to cover up.

Laws are for little people.

No one wants to be cop nowadays so it appears they’re hiring low life.

Wonder how many people this clown sent to the pokie for DUI? Wonder how many of them were just at or barely above .08?

Five times the legal limit! Good grief. .391

Even at the “good old days” standard of 0.10 (before Federal highway funding extortion at the behest of MADD) that is nearly 4x.

Dude is lucky to be above ground.

Many years ago I worked in a big city ER...night shift Unit Coordinator. On the night shift we'd regularly send blood samples to a nearby 24 hour lab (via cab),mainly ETOH levels.And we'd get the results,by phone,an hour or so later.

One night we had a guy brought in who was absolutely legless. We sent an ETOH level out on him and as I was getting the results on the phone the patient was getting up to leave (against medical advice). The tech gave me the result and asked "is this guy breathing?" and my reply was "not only is he breathing,he's leaving".

True story!
