STUART — What started as a traffic stop and DUI investigation turned into an exposure of breasts and revelations of cosmetic surgery, according to an arrest affidavit.

The case of the loquacious lady began about 1:45 a.m. on Sept. 23 when a Martin County sheriff’s deputy stopped a sport utility vehicle in Stuart after investigators say the driver didn’t stop at a stop sign and ran off the side of the road.

Deputies say the driver, Clairet Birdsall-Lopez, 40, had her hands out the window and waved them in a “circular motion.” Her eyes were bloodshot, her speech slurred.

She told investigators that she and her husband were selling his car because she got liposuction on her buttocks, stomach and private area.

Liposuction is a procedure to remove fat from areas of the body, and can be done under local or general anesthesia, according to plasticsurgery.org.

Investigators say Birdsall-Lopez stuffed what looked to be about a half dozen pieces of gum in her mouth, and told tales about her “honey” who isn’t her husband.

Birdsall-Lopez said she didn’t know where she was coming from.

She said she’d been to “too many places,” and had been to Walgreens to buy cigarettes. She said she wanted to prove she bought cigarettes by going in her purse.

She smelled slightly of booze, and eventually said she’d imbibed a Corona at a bar in Jensen Beach.

Deputies asked Birdsall-Lopez if she had any injuries, and she “began to act as though she did not understand English, despite holding detailed conversations with (deputies),” an affidavit states.

She said she had breast-related surgery, and pointed toward her chest.

“Clairet grabbed the top of her shirt, and pulled it down and outwards, exposing her breasts while attempting to show me her scars from surgery,” the affidavit states.

Birdsall-Lopez declined to exit her vehicle to perform field sobriety tests. She yelled, “I know my rights,” in English, and said she wanted to be addressed in Spanish.

Birdsall-Lopez, of Jensen Beach, was arrested on a DUI charge.
