60-year-old Palm Beach woman arrested on DUI charges
Palm Beach police arrested a resident early Saturday morning and charged her with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a suspendedlicense and leaving the scene of a crash that involved property damage.
A doorman at The Biltmore told police Dorian Amy Lipman, 60, was walking unsteadily as she entered the condominium. When she left, Lipman got into her vehicle, drove it forward, then abruptly put it in reverse, according to police. The car crashed into an awning support pole, causing a light dome to fall and break, said Sgt. Tom Melnichok.
The light fixture has a $400 value, he said.
Around 1:30 a.m., police stopped Lipman as she exited her car in a garage at Breakers Row, where she lives. Lipman failed a number of field sobriety tests, used profane language and yelled at officers, Melnichok said. As they always do, police took two breath samples.
Her blood alcohol readings were 1.60 and 1.57, Melnichok said. “She was double the legal limit,” he said.
Lipman was arrested and taken to the Palm Beach County Jail. She was released on her own recognizance without bond around 10 a.m. Saturday.
