A glamourous woman wore a smirk as well as an orange jumpsuit in her mugshot after being arrested for drunk driving on a beach.
Tiffany Neves, 35, of Sarasota, Florida, was apprehended by cops for allegedly driving under the influence on St Pete Beach at Sunset Way and 27th Avenue in Pinellas County on Tuesday evening just past 8pm, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Neves’ mugshot sees her in her prison attire with her hair loose, appearing nonchalant as she offers a hint of a smile to the camera.
The news comes as TV star Richard Hammond took part in a mock practical driving test – but managed to fail for one huge reason. It also follows on from a video which emerged showing a drunk driver steering his white van head-on into a stream of busy traffic.

Investigators reported that multiple witnesses observed Neves driving on a footpath onto the sandy beach.
St. Pete Beach, renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, permits residents to drive on the beach with a constantly displayed vehicle permit. Upon officers’ arrival at the scene, Neves declined a standard breath test to check for alcohol.
However, deputies stated that she exhibited signs of intoxication and impairment, leading to her booking into Pinellas County Jail on a charge of driving under the influence.
Her flashy mugshot sparked online discussions about her appearance but this Sunshine State resident isn’t the first whose good looks have overshadowed their alleged crime.
Neves joins a lengthy roster of suspects who gained viral attention after their mugshots were shared online, despite their criminal acts.
Abbie Newman, a 29-year-old mum from Georgia, found herself locked up for four days after a boozy theft spree at Walmart.

However, upon her release, the neck-tattooed adult entertainer discovered her mugshot had become an internet sensation after being featured on @mugshotshawtys, an Instagram page that showcases the mugshots of attractive offenders.
One commenter remarked about her photo: “Guys, she’s a 10/19, you can take her shopping and she will get you that new phone.”
Another simply said: “Shorty was trying to steal clothes but she ended up stealing my heart.”
Turns out, crime does pay in this instance, as her newfound notoriety led to a surge of fresh fans seeking out her explicit material.
“I didn’t even know until I got out of jail and saw that all of my social media had gained followers and I was being tagged everywhere with my mugshot up,” Abbie revealed to DailyMail.com in February of 2024.
Her unexpected brush with viral fame allowed the single mother to cash in by selling naughty snaps and helped her to rake in £19,400 ($24,000) in just one week.
