MANATEE COUNTY, FL -- A 70-year-old Manatee woman has been arrested and charged with a seventh DUI, according to records.

Witnesses called the Manatee County Sheriff's office Wednesday night to say there was car straddling bushes near the DeSoto Square Mall parking lot with the engine running.

Deputies arrived to find Carol May inside the car passed out.  Deputies said May was unable to take the field sobriety tests, so she was taken to the Manatee County Jail.  May was unable to sit up in the chair she was so drunk, according to the deputy, that she couldn't take the DUI test at the jail.

May had six prior DUI arrests and five convictions according to jail and court records.

She was driving with her license permanently revoked July 26, 2002.

May remains in Manatee County Jail under $80,000 bond.
