Jacksonville officer arrested, accused of DUI

Edith Jaworski, a 17-year veteran with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has been charged with DUI, Sheriff T.K. Waters announced Monday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville police officer was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters made the announcement of the arrest Monday during a news conference.

Waters said Jaworski's arrest stemmed from a crash at around 5 p.m. Saturday on Beach Boulevard and Discovery Way. Police said she rear-ended another vehicle. When officers arrived, they reported "signs of impairment," and Jaworski was asked to do a field sobriety test, Waters said. Jaworski, a 17-year veteran with JSO, declined to take the test and also declined a breath test, Waters said.

She was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI, DUI with damage, and DUI accompanied by a child, Waters said.
