A Grand Island woman was arrested for driving under the influence after a concerned citizen called the police for her reckless driving.
A concerned citizen called 911 regarding 64-year-old Sonya Rosenglick, the career and technological specialist at Lake Technical College, driving all over the road in Eustis around 6:15 p.m. Sunday, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The caller described a blue Toyota passenger car that entered oncoming traffic, forcing others to swerve to avoid it. A deputy spotted the vehicle traveling westbound on County Road 44 and pulled up behind it. Rosenglick then turned without using a signal, swerving out of her lane in the process, the report said.
Due to this, the deputy initiated a traffic stop. Rosenglick looked in her left side-view mirror, saw the emergency lights and continued driving on Fish Camp Road. Despite the deputy using a siren several times, she did not stop until she made it to her driveway on Capri Isle Lane in Grand Island, the report said.
When asked for documentation, she appeared confused and dazed. The deputy repeated his instructions multiple times, only for her to stare back and say she did not understand. She ultimately reached for her phone and several cards, one being her driver’s license. She had to be told that her license was in her hand, the report said.
Rosenglick denied being under the influence or drinking. She advised that she had just come from Publix on County Road 19 in Eustis, which matched the caller’s directions. Her continued confusion and genuine misunderstanding of questions prompted Lake Fire Rescue to respond to potential medical issues that could have caused the reckless driving, the report said.
Medical personnel were en route when Rosenglick admitted to drinking before she went to Publix. She had two glasses of wine at Maggie’s Attic, 237 W Fourth Ave., Ste. 4, Mount Dora. A subsequent medical evaluation confirmed she had no medical issues, the report said.
While speaking near Rosenglick, the deputy smelled the odor of alcohol coming from her mouth. She had glossy watery eyes, along with a flushed face, pale complexion and sweat. She needed questions to be reiterated numerous times because she could not understand what was being asked, the report said.
Rosenglick agreed to participate in field sobriety exercises, but she kept falling and needed assistance. Her performance led the deputy to conclude she was under the influence. He placed her under arrest and took her to the Lake County Jail, the report said.
She needed help getting out of the patrol vehicle and walking into the jail. She could not keep her balance and, at one point, fell while changing shoes, the report said.
Rosenglick initially agreed to provide a breath sample, yet she tried to manipulate the machine. She blew out the sides of her mouth, improperly wrapped her lips around it, and blew the air out of her lungs prior to attempting. She was given five chances to provide a sample before law enforcement determined she was refusing to take the test, the report said.
A later check of her criminal history revealed she had been the subject of two separate Eustis Police Department DUI incidents. On Feb. 28, 2025, she was believed to be DUI, but due to call volume, she was released on scene to a sober driver. On Nov. 2, 2025, she was cited for a hit-and-run crash. The report noted an odor of alcohol on her breath, as well as slurred speech and comprehension issues.
Rosenglick was arrested on charges of DUI, refusal to submit to DUI testing and failure to obey police official’s emergency vehicle. The Massachusetts native was booked at the Lake County Jail and arrested after posting $3,000 bond.
