Burglary investigation leads to DUI arrest

Arelis Torres

An investigation into a possible burglary in progress led to the arrest of an Ocala woman Thursday night.
Arelis Torres, 44, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. She was booked into the Marion County Jail and held on a $2,000 bond.
According to a sheriff’s office report, Torres was arrested after pulling into her driveway at 14188 SW 44 Ave. The report states that after deputies smelled alcohol on Torres’ breath, she failed four field sobriety tests. The report also says that Torres admitted to smoking marijuana earlier in the day.
According to the sheriff’s office, Torres told deputies that she had a Florida identification card and a Pennsylvania driver’s license that she had lost. Deputies determined that Torres’ Pennsylvania license expired in December 2016 and that she has been living in Florida since February 2017.
