Investigators said the Hummer came off the northbound I-275 ramp at Dale Mabry Highway and slammed into the patrol car about 3 a.m. The officer was waiting to turn onto northbound I-275. Paramedics transported Sgt. Christopher Ugles to St. Joseph’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released and is expected to make a full recovery. Police charged Stacy Smith, 39, with DUI with property damage or personal injury, a misdemeanor, according to jail records. His blood alcohol content was found to be .166 and .162. Anyone with a BAC of .08 or above is considered intoxicated under Florida law. Smith, a self-employed medical implants salesman from Orange Park, is being held at the Orient Road Jail on $500 bond, according to jail records. [attachmentid=9950]

And why must we resort to this type of behavior? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NoMoShocks @ Jul 20 2007, 12:16 PM) [snapback]482302[/snapback]</div>
Well, thats one less Hummer off the streets for a bit. Glad that the officer is going to be OK. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(FloridaWen @ Jul 20 2007, 10:35 AM) [snapback]482224[/snapback]</div>
