A Lincoln woman was arrested twice in the same night for DUI by the same officer.
Officer Katie Flood said Claudia Bustamante was pulled over at 1:13 am Wednesday after she made an illegal turn at 48th and Highway 2 and began swerving down the street.
Flood said Officer John Hudec stopped her and noticed a number of signs that she was driving intoxicated during the field sobriety test. When he took her to detox her blood alcohol level was .19, more than twice the legal limit. At that time she was cited for DUI and negligent driving.
At 3:09 am Flood said Officer Hudec saw another car driving down the center lane on 40th street near Pioneers. When he pulled the vehicle over he realized it was Bustamante.
Flood said her boyfriend had picked her up from detox, but had taken her to her car instead of home. She was driving his car at the time of the second DUI.
This time Flood said Bustamante was arrested for DUI and negligent driving and taken to jail where she still had a BAC of .154.
Flood said it is not unusual to arrest the same person for DUI, but it is very rare to arrest the same person in the same night.
