NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP)- A teen was charged with driving under the influence in Pasco County after being pulled over on U.S. 19 in a golf cart.

New Port Richey police reportedly pulled over 18-year-old Steven Lee Proctor early Thursday morning. An officer reported the teen had a dazed expression, slurred speech, watery bloodshot eyes and reeked of alcohol.

Proctor's blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.137 and 0.134 percent. State law considers a person too intoxicated to drive at 0.08 percent.

Proctor was arrested and charged with DUI. He was later released on his own recognizance.
