“On 5-5-2021 at approximately 2353 hours, I was conducting a security check in the parking lot of 5050 Town Center Circle in Boca Raton, Fl, when I observed a black Lexus SUV bearing [redacted] in the parking lot with its front and rear lights activated. I got closer to the Lexus and could see a H / F, later identified as Yamileth Coral, sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle with half of her body hanging out. As I got closer, I saw vomit on the parking lot pavement, and I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Coral and the vomit. I asked Coral if she needed medical attention and she said that she was fine.”
“It should be noted s that the vehicle was turned on, Coral had actual physical control of her vehicle and she was in possession of the key to the vehicle. I observed slurred speech, red / glossy eyes, a delayed reaction and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Coral`s mouth. I asked her several times if she consumed any alcoholic beverages tonight. At times she acknowledged consuming alcoholic beverages but then later she denied ever doing so. At one point I asked why she vomited, and she said that she ate something that upset her stomach.”
