Bradenton Beach police arrested Christopher Corso, 56, of Bradenton, June 14 for allegedly driving under the influence, failure to use a designated lane and possession of an open container in a motor vehicle.
Responding to reports of an erratic driver, Bradenton Beach Police Officer Ryan Gagliano initiated a traffic stop at Gulf Drive and Cortez Road and spoke with Corso, who exhibited signs of impairment, according to a police report.
Also, the officer reported that he observed what appeared to be an open beer can in the vehicle.
A Manatee County sheriff’s deputy arrived and performed a DUI field sobriety test, which, according to an MCSO report, Corso could not perform.
According to police, he also failed a breathalyzer test.
Corso was arrested, taken to the Manatee County jail in Palmetto and released without bond.
Driving under the influence, if convicted, carries a punishment of up to 12 months in jail.
Corso’s arraignment will be at 8:55 a.m. Tuesday, July 17, at the Manatee County Judicial Center in Bradenton.
