Scene at Wawa Leads to Fourth DUI for Marion County Driver
Marion County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a Wawa on SW Highway 484 on Sunday, where a man was reportedly causing a scene. Upon arrival, deputies found Hetal Amin sitting in his white Nissan, parked at an impressive angle in a handicap space, apparently deep into a personal concert with loud music blaring and the car running.
When Deputy M. Rasnick approached, Amin spontaneously shared that he wasn’t drinking that night—despite the distinct odor of alcohol on his breath and his history of three prior DUI convictions. Amin, a seasoned veteran of field sobriety refusals, opted for a seated sobriety test this time, citing past surgeries on his hip, knee, and back. Unfortunately, his coordination seemed just as impaired from his seat, as he struggled with several of the tasks, including the tried-and-true “finger to nose” test.
When further pressed to provide a breath sample, Amin went back to an old favorite response: a hard refusal. This fourth DUI arrest joins his record of prior DUI convictions from 2001, 2007, and 2011, along with three previous refusals for breath tests, the last in 2019. Amin was transported to Marion County Jail, where his streak of refusals continues, adding yet another citation to his collection.
