PLANTATION -- A veteran officer and police academy DUI instructor was driving drunk, naked from the waist down, and speeding on Florida's Turnpike at 90 mph when she was pulled over by an Orange County Sheriff's deputy on the night of Dec. 9, according to a Plantation Police Internal Affairs report released this week.
She had a large open bottle of Southern Comfort in her car, which her attorney later argued was used to train police recruits.
Officer Laurie Primeau, 47, has been suspended without pay until Aug. 8. The 1994 Plantation Officer of the Year has been with the department for almost 27 years.
The report states she drew the attention of a police officer when she swerved into his lane and "almost collided" with him.
"I asked her, `Where are your pants?' and I think she answered, `I don't know,'" Deputy David Alvarado told Plantation investigators. "Kinda shocked me."
Alvarado said he asked for backup because "I didn't want to be alone too long with a naked female on the side of the road."
He asked her again about her pants and she reached for her sweatpants and she put them on, he said.
Alvarado told investigators that Primeau "was sweating real bad. Her face was real red. Her eyes were bloodshot." He told investigators she failed a few roadside sobriety exercises.
