A Texas woman has been cuffed for her third DWI—this time after a traffic stop in northwestern Harris County, law enforcement said.
Jesenia Garcia was pulled over by a deputy from Constable Mark Herman's Office on February 11, after she was spotted driving in the 19600 block of Restaurant Row. The officer reportedly noted that she appeared to be under the influence, prompting a roadside sobriety test, which she failed to successfully complete.
The 38-year-old, who has prior convictions for driving while intoxicated, is now behind bars on a third DWI charge, a felony offense.
"Jesenia Garcia was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Felony Driving While Intoxicated 3rd Offense. Her bond was set at $30,000.00 out of the 338th District Court." Herman's office stated in a social media post.
If convicted, the repeat offender faces a potentially serious sentence given her history with similar offenses. Texas law mandates severe penalties for those caught to repeatedly drink and drive, which could include prolonged jail time, hefty fines, and the permanent loss of her driving privileges.
