Holmes Beach police arrested Tampa resident Riley Tennant, 31, July 10 on a second-degree misdemeanor for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
An officer found a vehicle without a license plate double-parked in the lot outside Walgreens, 3200 E. Bay Drive, July 9 and the motorist, Tennant, displayed signs of impairment.
Tennant failed field sobriety exercises and, at the HBPD, provided two breath samples of 0.000, as well as a urine sample.
At the Manatee County jail, a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputy evaluated Tennant and found him “under the influence of CNS depressants.”
Tennant was released from jail July 15, after posting $500 bond.
If convicted, punishment for a second-degree misdemeanor includes up to 60 days in jail.
An arraignment will be Aug. 13, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
