Wrong-way driver in Tampa offers cop a credit card and a bookstore gift card. He wasn’t buying it

A Florida woman was charged with driving under the influence after a strange traffic stop in Tampa, where she repeatedly failed to hand over her driver’s license to a deputy. Kami Ellis, 52, was pulled over by a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputy at 12:30 a.m. after she was seen driving the wrong way down the road and jumping a curb.

According to The New York Post, the whole interaction was caught on body camera footage shared on the department’s Facebook page. When the deputy first approached the vehicle, he asked, “You feeling okay?” Ellis responded, “Yeah, I’m good.” It was clear from the video that she had serious trouble operating her vehicle, and the deputy eventually had to ask her if she knew how to shut off the car.
