A New Orleans city councilman with a prior DUI is being accused of a second one after he was allegedly found asleep behind the wheel of his running vehicle.

39-year-old Jared Brossett has been on the New Orleans City Council for 7 years. He is currently running for a seat in the upcoming election.

Last year, Brossett was in a car accident that resulted in a DUI charge. He was permitted to enter a diversion agreement instead of being criminally prosecuted, and he went to rehab.

A woman who was operating a vehicle with a child in the back seat was arrested on Thursday for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

30-year-old Stephanie Roque of Miami was driving through Wellington, Florida, with a child passenger when she allegedly stopped her SUV while in the middle of a lane on the road.

A Palm Beach deputy saw the car in the middle of the street and ran a check on Roque’s license plate finding that the woman’s driving privileges had been revoked. When he walked up to Roque he reportedly detected a strong smell of alcohol coming from the SUV. He also stated that she seemed as if she was unable to remain focused while speaking to him.
