Witnesses reported he drove on the wrong side of the road before crashing through a gate, striking a vehicle, and slamming into a tree. Although his breath test later registered .07, just below Florida's legal limit, officers concluded he was impaired based on the totality of the evidence, which is still prosecutable under Florida DUI law. Patrick later entered a no contest plea and was sentenced to 12 months of probation, a 6-month license suspension, and an ignition interlock device for 1 year.
