Florida Deputy Fired After Dui Arrest.

On May 17, 2022, now-former Pinellas County Deputy Sheriff Shelby Alyse Coniglio was stopped by Officer Kristin Higgins with the St. Petersburg Police Department. Despite pleading to her status as a deputy sheriff, to having been assembling furniture, and to wearing contact lenses, Coniglio was ultimately cited for careless driving and arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence.

Even after she invited an officer into her dad's car with her. 'Cause that's something sober people do.

Coniglio submitted to a breath alcohol test; her BAC registered as .206% and .219%.

She was fired.
