Tampa, Florida -- An 18-year-old has been charged with three DUIs in the last 17 days.

Kimberly McCarthy faced a Hillsborough County judge Monday morning. The judge gave her some extra time to find an attorney, because she does not qualify for a public defender.

Another hearing is set for next week. In the meantime, McCarthy remains free on bail.

According to arrest reports, alcohol only played a role in one of McCarthy's three arrests. McCarthy told reporters at the courthouse she wasn't drunk -- but she was smoking pot.
