On December 5, 2018 Florida morning news anchor Farron Salley was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. This video presents the entirety of Salley’s traffic stop, field sobriety testing, and her testy exchanges with law enforcement.
Remarkably, on February 8, 2019 Assistant State Attorney Ryan G. Myers filed a memo in State of Florida v. Farron La Trice Salley, stating that “Although there was probable cause to make an arrest, the evidence cannot prove all legally required elements of the crime alleged and is insufficient to support a criminal prosecution.” And with that, all charges against Salley were dropped. A copy of that filing as well as Salley’s breath testing refusal is included at the end of this video.
During the pendency of Salley’s DUI case the WPBF anchor was suspended from her on-air duties, but when the charges against her were dropped Salley was quickly back in her former position. But the story doesn’t end there. In late-June 2019 a few minutes of footage from her stop were published, resulting in WPBF “reassessing the impact of the incident.” Shortly thereafter Salley resigned.
Scott Jones was first to break the story of Salley’s arrest back in December 2018, and was first to publish a portion of this footage months before it became big news. Jones’ work can be found at www.ftvlive.com. And if anyone knows how to tell YouTube to exclude trailing punctuation from hyperlinks, I’m all ears. (See the preceding sentence.)

Salley made it to the sally port
Damn, she got them Judge Tracie Hunter crazy eyes/mouth.
22:04 😳
She is annoying. Too bad you can't arrest people with bad attitude and being high and mighty. I hope she was reprimanded at her office for her comments and not working well with public servants.
I’m perfectly capable of crying!!!
Here is the deal…If your not drunk take either the breathalyzer or have them take blood then you can prove u are not drunk!!! Plus be as nice as pie when u get home you can bitch all u want…Now they threw the charges out for whatever reason so she did not lose her job..But in the end the video surfaced and BAM she gets canceled and fired…Had she been nice as pie nothing would have happened°°° Lesson learned I hope!!!
All charges were dropped and ahe was allowed to return to work unfortunately.
They dropped all charges and she returned to work. Her privilege is off the charts. Yet with her IQ she still "feels" like a victim. What a total loser.
I can never understand how someone who refuses a breathalyzer gets out of a dui? Ridiculous
She has entitled privilege… WHOOPS-l meant richy rich privilege.
getting put into cuffs
Slurring incredibly, and in a slight fake southern accent, to a police officer arresting her for a DUI
"Look… Mmm hey buddy…"
“Even if you’re white they’ll shoot youâ€
“I’ve never even been in handcuffsâ€
Black vs white, or ignorance vs logic? ðŸ’â€â™‚ï¸
She seemed to passed these tests pretty good. And after the 77th test – I’d be pissed too….
Not excusing any of her behavior.
She EASILY could have just played it cool and gotten off lightly. But she had to sass them
This cop was an ass, plain and simple.
if all else fails….pulll the race card
As a family member of mine is a police officer it is very scary when people disrespect the officers wow only trying to help them get home safely of course they do have some bad apples in every profession but you must take each individual situation and encounter as they come and hopefully this young lady will learn her lesson my family member has been an officer for 18 years and says nothing but respect for his people in his community and make sure that his employees do the sa💕🙠The sad thing on my get a administrative leave for a couple of months then back at work still not understanding what they did was wrong and feel entitled. My brother-in-law has never had a drink of alcohol a day in his life and has no desire to start now at 40 years of age.
This traffic cop trying to bea hero! Stopping a as beautiful,educated, black won as n. He’s a power hungry BiTCH!
Her comment about being shot by the police should have shit canned from her public figure job.
You people need to come up with quicker ways, taking that long is bullshit. If you can't tell in the first 5 minutes, figure something else out. Not good folks, not good. EDIT: Her demeanor isn't part of the field sobriety tests. It should get thrown out and he should get fired. I'll 100% pro cops, NOT GOOD!!!!!!!
Cops are pricks!.. A news anchor woman!. They could of at least take her home.
The charges were dropped and she was allowed back to work. That’s what having connections gets you!!! If she were anyone else she’d be fucked. That’s not justice at all that’s bull shit. Probably just fans her ego. The video speaks for itself she was shit faced! I can’t believe after this footage she got a slap on the wrist lol wow that’s fair!!!!
She was an arrogant , entitled person. We can only assume that it was because she was drunk, but maybe not. That's the sad part.
Wow at. 27â€15 min. The officer gave her the best advice “ everything is on camera ‘. Stop talking slick
Damn that must have been one strong ass vodka.
One drink.
One.
😉
I would suggest that these are actually on drugs too.
