Deputy Shawn Lally Charged with DUI

A Sarasota County sheriff's deputy found himself behind bars this weekend for DUI.

28-year-old Shawn Lally was pulled over Saturday night around 11:30 p.m. in Venice.

Witnesses say Lally was driving over 100 miles per hour on the interstate in his personal vehicle before exiting onto Jacaranda Blvd. where he was seen swerving.

A report says Lally showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol, but refused all field sobriety tests, including a breath test. He told deputies that he was on his way home from a wedding and hadn't had anything alcoholic to drink.

Lally is charged with Driving Under the Influence.

Spokesman Lt. Chuck Lesaltato says the sheriff will decide Monday what action will be taken against the deputy as far as his job.
