On October 22, 2022, officers with the Sarasota Police Department responded to Bay Island Park in reference to a single-vehicle crash with a complicated backstory. It ultimately emerged that the operator of the vehicle, Sallina Thibault, had been as observed driving a vehicle after having consumed several alcoholic beverages. A witness observed Thibault drive into a wooden post in the parking lot of Bay Island Park, and that Thibault parked the vehicle and exited prior to the arrival of law enforcement.
From the police report: Upon arrival, I made contact with Thibault, who appeared intoxicated. Thibault had blood shot eyes, had problems keeping her balance and had slurred speech.
Thibault admitted to consuming a shot of Crown Royal prior to driving to Bay Island Park. When Thibault arrived at Bay Island Park, Thibault advised she consumed several alcoholic beverages, specifically Twisted Tea’s, However, Thibault advised she did not operate her vehicle after consuming the Twisted Tea’s. Thibault also denied crashing her vehicle on this date.
I conducted Field Sobriety Exercises, in which Thibault agreed to participate. Thibault showed multiple signs of impairment during these exercises. I placed Thibault in handcuffs and double locked them.
I read Thibault Implied Consent, in which Thibault agreed to provide a breath sample. Thibault blew a .148 and a .142.
