A suspect from North Miami Beach has been arrested on suspicions of drunk driving with her nine year old son inside the car. At 1 a.m. a St. Lucie County patrol officer clocked the defendant, 43-year old Margie Sanoni, traveling 35 mph on the 70 mph Florida Turnpike. The officer reported that the defendant also had difficulty maintaining a single lane of traffic. Sanoni's 9-year old son sat without his seatbelt in the front seat of the vehicle and "crying hysterically".
The boy explained to authorities that he was frightened because his mother had lost her way and acted confused as to their whereabouts. He also admitted to the officer that Sanoni spent the entire day drinking Corona beer. The boy showed the officer an empty beer bottle on the driver's seat and two full beers on the passenger side floorboard.
The officer arrested Sanoni and charged her with DUI and aggravated child neglect. The defendant has not yet posted the $5,350 bond and is currently awaiting trial inside the St. Lucie County Jail.
If you or a loved one has been charged with an alcohol related crime, contact a knowledgeable attorney for a comprehensive review of your case. Intoxicated individuals are not of sound mind to make proper decisions, including decisions like the care of a child or getting behind the wheel. Unfortunately, this can land individuals into big trouble with the law.
