A 19-year-old man who admitted to using cocaine and Adderall was charged with DUI during a traffic stop in Mount Dora early Monday.
Jeffrey Wayne Teschner, of Deland, was pulled over by a Mount Dora police officer at around 1 a.m. on U.S. Highway 441 in front of Discount Tire. The officer was suspicious that Teschner was under the influence of a foreign substance because of his dazed and talkative state, according to the police report.
After obeying the officer’s directions to get out of the vehicle, Teschner said he suffers from ADHD and was prescribed medication for it. He said he hadn’t taken it since 8 a.m., which is when he normally takes it. Teschner agreed to a series of field sobriety exercises, which he failed. He was placed under arrest, the report said.
After being read his Miranda warning, Teschner said he had consumed cocaine and Adderall that day. A drug expert with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office spoke with and observed Teschner and confirmed he was exhibiting characteristics of being under CNS depressants and stimulants, according to the report.
Teschner was booked into the Lake County Jail, where he was released Monday afternoon on $1,000 bond. He’s due to appear in Lake County Court on Nov. 16.
