Stock Island Man Sentenced In DUI Case Following Traffic Stop
Defendant receives probation, treatment requirements after September scooter stop
KEY WEST, Fla. — A Stock Island man has been sentenced to probation and substance abuse treatment after pleading no contest to multiple charges stemming from a September 2025 driving under the influence arrest.
The Monroe County State Attorney’s Office announced that Glenn Allen Mitchell, 61, was sentenced Feb. 23 by Circuit Judge Mark Jones following his arrest by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office during a traffic stop on Stock Island.
According to the arrest report, deputies stopped Mitchell on Sept. 24, 2025, after observing him operating a red scooter and failing to stop at an intersection. During the stop, the deputy reported signs of impairment, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and the odor of alcohol.
Mitchell later provided a breath sample registering a blood alcohol concentration of .188. Florida law sets the legal limit for driving under the influence at .08. Authorities said Mitchell later refused to provide a second breath sample as required under Florida’s implied consent law.
Mitchell entered no contest pleas to Driving Under the Influence, Failure to Submit to a Breath Test Following a Prior Suspension, two counts of Willfully Refusing to Sign and Accept a Summons and Resisting an Officer Without Violence. Judge Jones adjudicated Mitchell guilty on all counts.
The court sentenced Mitchell to 36 months of probation, structured as three consecutive one-year probationary terms, and ordered him to participate in Drug Court supervision during the probationary period.
On the two misdemeanor counts related to refusing to sign traffic citations, Mitchell was sentenced to time served in the Monroe County Jail and will not serve additional jail time.
As part of the sentence, Mitchell must complete 50 hours of community service, undergo a substance abuse evaluation within 60 days and complete any recommended treatment, attend Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings three times per week, submit to regular urinalysis testing and complete DUI school within nine months.
The court also ordered a 10-day vehicle impoundment and revoked Mitchell’s driver’s license for 12 months. Mitchell was further ordered to pay $1,113 in fines and court costs, along with $50 per month in probation supervision fees.
“Driving under the influence puts everyone on the road at risk,” said Chief Assistant State Attorney Joseph Mansfield. “Accountability through the courts, combined with treatment and supervision through Drug Court, helps address the underlying issues while reinforcing that impaired driving will not be tolerated in our community.”
The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Michael Tetelman.
