As he stopped to make a welfare check, he saw a woman, later identified as Yamileth Coral, 44, in the driver’s seat with “half of her body hanging out” of the car. As the officer approached the car, he said he saw vomit on the parking lot pavement. He asked Coral if she needed medical attention and she stated she was “fine.”

The officer said he could smell alcohol on the woman and in the area around the car.

Coral failed several field sobriety tests. She told police she drank one Margarita with her sister.
