St. Johns County teacher arrested for DUI on I-95

A St. Johns County teacher who told authorities that she had just left a New Year's Eve party was arrested after she was spotted going under 50 mph on I-95, a police report said.

Jamara Washington, 31, had a blood alcohol level of .191, over two times in the legal limit in Florida. She is listed as a teacher at Mill Creek Elementary, the police report said.

Washington's 2001 Honda Accord was spotted by a motorist driving erratically in the right lane of I-95 near the St. Augustine Outlets, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said. A deputy made visual contact and observed Washington's car, which was going only 48 mph, crossing the I-95 divider line 17 times, the report said, and onto the shoulder's rumble strips seven times.

The speed limit on that stretch of I-95 is 70 mph.

Washington admitted she had a few drinks earlier in the evening, the report said. She bonded out of the St. Johns County Jail nine hours after she was booked.
