A Sarasota, Florida Hooters waitress, Sophia Gabrielle, is facing criticism after a highly publicized DUI arrest. Bodycam footage released online shows Gabrielle’s attempts to avoid arrest through excessive flirting and inappropriate behavior with the arresting officer.
The video depicts Gabrielle repeatedly calling the officer “daddy,” propositioning him, and attempting to obtain his phone number. At one point, she suggests they “make out,” and later provocatively asks him if he’s afraid she’ll grab his genitals. She also offered unsolicited commentary on the officer’s uniform. Despite these antics, the officer remained professional.
Gabrielle’s efforts to charm her way out of the situation proved unsuccessful. After refusing to complete a sobriety test, she was arrested and placed in a police vehicle. She later addressed the incident on TikTok, simply stating, “Uber is cheaper.” The incident has earned her widespread online attention, solidifying her, at least temporarily, as a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. The outcome of her DUI charges remains pending.
