MARTIN COUNTY — A woman accused of mooing at a deputy after a traffic crash and likening the investigator to a cow was arrested on DUI and other charges, according to an affidavit.

Joanne Carr, 73, of Massachusetts, was jailed on charges of DUI, DUI crash-property damage and obstruction without violence after the Feb. 3 incident.

Carr told Martin County sheriff’s deputies she’d been drinking vodka since 8 a.m., and deputies noted an open container of Smirnoff on the front seat.

Deputies found Carr in a Pontiac crashed in the area of North Old Dixie Highway and County Line Road in southeast Martin County.

She couldn’t figure out how to unlock her doors or roll down the windows, deputies said.

Asked what happened, Carr said, “What do you think, pig?”

Investigators say it appeared she ran over some recently planted trees, collided with one fence and ran over another.

She smelled of booze, mumbled and was “thick tongued,” deputies said.

Deputies said they were going to perform a DUI investigation.

“The hell you are,” she is quoted as saying.

Carr declined to take field sobriety exercises.

“You’re not taking me anywhere but home you (expletive) pig, I mean cow. Moooooo,” she is quoted as saying.

Investigators determined Carr was impaired and took her to jail. On the way, Carr is quoted as calling a deputy a “pig, sow, cow, (derogatory term), (derogatory term), (derogatory term), (expletive) and (expletive),” the affidavit states.

She also spoke poorly about the deputy’s family and the State of Florida.

Breath tests measured her blood-alcohol content at 0.247 and 0.242 – more than three times the legal limit of 0.08.

Carr said she’d been drinking vodka since 8 a.m., and finished several hours later when deputies stopped her.
