A Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy was arrested for disorderly intoxication in a public place last weekend.



Jeffrey De Cresie, 48, was arrested at 5th Avenue and 1st Street South in St. Petersburg about 10 p.m. on Saturday.



According to the Tampa Bay Times, De Cresie was warned multiple times to stop shouting at his girlfriend.



The Times reports the St. Petersburg Police officer who responded smelled alcohol coming from De Cresie’s breath, noticed his eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred.



According to the Times, De Cresie dared the officer to take him to jail.



De Cresie was arrested and subsequently transported to the Pinellas County Jail.

He has been with the sheriff's office since 2000.
