ST. PETE, Fla. — St. Petersburg Police arrested a woman who was allegedly drunk and crashed into a home early Monday morning.
According to St. Petersburg Police, an SUV driving southbound lost control on 6th Street South and crashed into a residence.
Officers said the driver, 28-year-old Stephanie Lopez, was arrested at 4600 6th St. S..
There were two adults in the home, neither of whom was injured. However, they had to leave and stay at a relative’s home due to the damage caused by the incident.
Lopez was taken to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
She is charged with DUI property damage, driving while license suspended/canceled/revoked, and careless driving, officers said.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
