LONGWOOD, Fla. – A Winter Springs High School assistant principal is facing DUI charges after deputies say he rode an e-bike while intoxicated, despite being offered a safe ride home.<\/p>\n
The arrest happened on June 30, after Seminole County sheriff’s deputies responded to a trespass complaint at Mulligan’s in Wekiva Springs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, a bartender asked 40-year-old Kenneth Bevan to leave. He left without incident, but deputies later caught up with him outside where he was with an e-bike.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Bevan showed signs of intoxication. A deputy warned him not to ride the e-bike and even offered him a ride home. Shortly after, that same deputy spotted Bevan buying beer and riding the bike on State Road 434.
Deputies pulled Bevan over. They say he refused a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer. He was taken to jail, where he again refused to provide a breath sample.<\/p>\n
