10 DUI arrests, still driving

Manatee County, Florida -- They say you live and learn.

But apparently, that's not the case for an Ellenton woman who was arrested on her 10th DUI charge over the weekend.

Deputies stopped Janet Landrum, 41, early Saturday morning. She told deputies she'd had two glasses of wine and had just left the Joyland Country Music Night Club on 14^th Street in Bradenton.

Her passenger, Sammy Howard Campbell, told deputies he'd also bought a vodka and cranberry juice that Landrum drank. He also said Landrum was behind the wheel because he was too intoxicated to drive.

Landrum, who is 5'4" and 100 pounds according to the affidavit, had a blood alcohol level of .108.

Saturday's arrest was Landrum's 10th DUI arrest, according to records supplied by Dave Bristow, spokesperson for the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

In the last 20 years, Landrum has been arrested in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee. She was arrested in Hillsborough County in 2005 for driving with a suspended license.

Law enforcement note that they are doing their job by arresting her, and they say it's up to the judicial system to see it through.

"But we can't follow her around [to make sure she doesn't drive on a suspended license]," Bristow said.

He said he has never heard of someone having as many DUI arrests.

"She might make it in the Guinness Book of World Records," he said.

During the most recent arrest, deputies found cigarettes, perfume, air freshener and mouthwash in Landrum's car.

Here is a list of Landrum's DUI arrests:

• 2-19-88 Kentucky
  

• 10-23-88 Tennessee
