Reporting

MIAMI BEACH (CBS4) ―

Artist Romero Britto was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly driving under the influence on Miami Beach. Miami pop artist Romero Britto bonded out of jail Thursday night after being arrested and accused of DUI in Miami Beach earlier in the morning.

According to the Miami Beach police report, Britto was pulled over shortly after 3:00 a.m. in the 500 block of Washington Avenue while driving his black Bentley. The report also indicated he was given a breathalyzer test and blew a .161 and .158 which is twice the legal limit of .08. This information was confirmed by Jenny Velazquez of the Miami Beach Police Department. "I feel very embarrassed about the whole thing; l think drinking is not good," said Britto. "I had a few drinks, and that's what happened."

The police report states that arresting officer, P. Socarras, witnessed Britto weaving while driving in the southbound lanes of Washington Avenue.

Socarras wrote in his report that Britto "crossed into the left lane on three separate occasions and on the third time almost struck another vehicle which was in that lane." Britto also "drifted into the right lane almost striking a parking vehicle," states the report.

After pulling Britto over, Officer Socarras described Britto as having "a flushed face, bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath."

In addition, the report states "he did not perform to standards" in a roadside sobriety test. Britto even stated to the officer at one point, "Officer, I live across the bridge, give me a break."

Britto was arrested on the scene and transported to the Miami Beach Police Department for further processing.

Seems Unbiased

The page for Britto seems hardly unbiased. In fact, it appears to be more like a form of marketing for Britto rather than information about the fellow. Furthermore, some of the quotes of praise from Britto are taken out of context. This hardly seems like what Wikipedia wants to classify as an encyclopedia entry.

Pure Marketing

I agree with the prior comment. This entry is purely marketing and not at all biography. It should be removed and an objective bio should replace it. It seems that this 'artist' has been very successful financially and the marketing engine is well fueled.
