Bodycam footage shows moment Florida college student, 19, is arrested for drunk driving and begs cops not to send her to jail: ‘I don’t belong there, I’ll do anything to stay out’
Newly surfaced bodycam footage shows the moment a Florida college student is arrested for drunken driving and begs police not to send her to jail.
The video footage, which was originally captured in February 2021, shows officers arresting then-19-year-old Olivia Urick.
The teen claimed she had just returned from work at the time. She was adamant that she had not been drinking, but did admit to drinking one vodka during her shift.
In the footage, Urick can be heard pleading with the arresting officer: “Please don't accuse me of this, I've already been to jail, I'll do anything to stay out.”

The videos show officers putting Urick through a series of roadside tests. Her eyes are inspected and the police make her walk across a white road marking to check her balance.
After these checks are unsuccessful, Urick is handcuffed and continues to beg the officers to let her go.
You can hear her say, “I'm sorry, please don't do that.” Please sir, I beg you. I'm not drunk, I'll take a breath test right in front of your eyes.
“I've been to prison and I have very severe PTSD from prison, just wanted to let you know. Please don't take me there, I will do anything.
'I don't drink on the job, you can give me a breathalyzer right now. I haven't been drinking.'
After a few minutes of trying to discourage the officers, they finally load her into the back of a patrol car.
According to a police report seen by Behind the MugshotUrick then allegedly blew 0.142 into a breathalyzer.
Due to the incident, Urick agreed to perform 50 hours of community service, had her vehicle impounded for ten days, and was required to pay a $500 donation to a nonprofit organization.
She was also reportedly arrested in October 2020 for burglary, assault and criminal conduct. And in January this year, she was arrested again for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Earlier this year, separate footage showed another young woman in Florida pleading with police to let her father come rescue her after she was stopped for driving under the influence.
Stephanie Bloodworth, then 24, was stopped in February 2022 for speeding in a Tesla on her Florida island because the officer suspected she might be driving under the influence.
Bloodworth was caught on dashcam when she was initially pulled over after police received a reckless driving citation while driving in North Bahama in Duck Key, Florida.
She “refused to comply” with the arrest, the officer said, and is heard telling the officer, “I own this island” as she got behind the wheel and drove away.
Bloodworth was taken to the police station for a sobriety test, where she was caught on CCTV struggling to complete the breath test at around 9pm.
The 24-year-old was charged with resisting an officer, fleeing police, driving under the influence and a DUI for reckless driving.
