POLK COUNTY, Fla. – An elementary school teacher was arrested for a DUI after deputies nabbed her with a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
Leslie Spence of Tampa was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after she was pulled over on Friday night in Lake Wales. She was also given a citation for failing to maintain a single lane.
After a field sobriety test, Spence was arrested for DUI, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
“My father is a lawyer and he will sue every single one of you,” Spence told a deputy at one point during her arrest.

“Children learn from adults and educators, so if you fall under both of those categories, it is imperative that you’re setting a good example,” Sheriff Grady Judd said. “Since Ms. Spence failed to do that, we’re going to use this as a teaching moment—don’t drive drunk. It’s dangerous and you’ll end up in detention at the Polk County Jail.”
