BUNNELL, Fla. -- A Flagler Beach woman was arrested this weekend after she allegedly had too much to drink and drove to the Flagler County Inmate Facility, where she requested a conjugal visit with a specific inmate.

Authorities said Denise Rutledge, 45, parked her vehicle in the parking lot of the inmate facility Friday at about 2:41 p.m.

She went inside for visitation, but was turned away because she was late for the visitation appointment, said Debra Johnson, public information officer for the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. The inmate facility does not allow conjugal visits.

Johnson said the woman drove away and then returned, after which deputies noticed the woman's impaired behavior.

When deputies arrived, they found Rutledge sitting inside her vehicle, Johnson said. The report stated her speech was slurred and she had difficulty standing without assistance.

Rutledge failed a field sobriety test and registered 0.256 on a breathalyzer exam.

Rutledge was booked into the facility on one count of driving under the influence.

She was released after being held for eight hours and posting $500 bond.
