Fox 13 is reporting: A driving instructor is facing DUI charges after allegedly driving with a blood alcohol content that is nearly three times the legal limit in Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested Gregory Sorensen Friday night after troopers say he was driving drunk in New Port Richey while in a vehicle adorned with student-driver decals and an open pack of Natural Light beer in the back seat.
Troopers say they pulled Sorensen over around 11:40 p.m. because he was drifting in his lane and they wanted to see if he was suffering from a medical issue.
Troopers approached Sorensen and asked if he was okay. He said he was fine, but troopers say he slurred his speech, had alcohol on his breath and had bloodshot, watery eyes.
