A Flagler Beach woman had too much to drink Friday afternoon and drove to the local jail where she requested a conjugal visit with a specific inmate, authorities said.
Deputies said Denise Rutledge, 45, did have a visitation appointment with an inmate at the Flagler County Inmate Facility — which does not allow conjugal visits — but she was turned away because she was late.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office said she drove away then returned. After her return visit, corrections officers called for a road patrol because they suspected she had been drinking.
Deputies found her sitting in her car. She failed a field sobriety test, and a breathalyzer indicated her blood-alcohol content was 0.256.
She was then booked into the jail on a charge of driving under the influence. She was later released after posting $500 bail.
The name of the inmate she wanted to visit was not released.
