Two Florida school principals landed in the back of police cars after a Fourth of July night out, with bodycam video showing both women arrested on DUI charges in separate incidents tied to the same car.<\/p>\n

Bodycam video released by officials shows Jennifer Jimenez, 41, and Christina Alcalde, 45, each being taken into custody in separate traffic stops involving the same white Jeep SUV.<\/p>\n

In bodycam video released by the Clermont, Florida Police Department, authorities are seen pulling over the pair of principals.<\/p>\n

“Ms. Jennifer, you consumed any alcohol today cause I can smell it,” the officer is heard saying.<\/p>\n

“Yes, I have,” Jimenez replied.<\/p>\n

According to a Clermont Police Department probable-cause affidavit obtained by Fox News affiliate WOFL-TV, Jimenez was behind the wheel with Alcalde in the passenger seat when an officer pulled them over around 2 a.m. on July 5 after seeing the Jeep drift in and out of its lane.<\/p>\n

The vehicle crossed into oncoming lanes multiple times and drove over a curb before the stop, authorities said. The officer reported smelling alcohol and said Jimenez “would blink really slow and had very slow and delayed reactions.”<\/p>\n

Bodycam video shows Alcalde telling the officer she was “way better” and was worried about Jimenez, who had been arrested earlier.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not meaning to do anything wrong. I’m way better,” Alcalde told the deputy.<\/p>\n

“Well, look. I just talked to you,” he replied. “You were really drunk when I talked to you.”<\/p>\n

“I know. I know. But I\u2019m not now,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s a couple hours later,” the deputy said.<\/p>\n

“I understand. I\u2019m really not,” Alcalde said. “I promise you I\u2019m not.”<\/p>\n
