BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) — A Boca Raton woman is in jail this morning following her arrest for her 4th DUI in 10 years according to jail records released to Boca Post by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

On May 20th, 2022, at approximately 4:00 PM, deputies responded to a call about a woman passed out at the wheel of a white Honda Accord at Powerline Road and Palmetto Circle in unincorporated Boca Raton. The following statement was provided by the PBSO deputy who found Fumero passed out behind the wheel:
I responded to the intersection of Powerline Rd and Palmetto Circle North in unincorporated Boca Raton, Palm Beach County in reference to a call of a person unresponsive behind the wheel of a white Honda Accord. Upon arrival at the above location, | noticed a white female unresponsive in the driver’s seat behind the wheel of the vehicle.
After several attempts at awakening the white female, she finally unlocked the vehicle’s doors. The white female presented me with a Florida Driver’s license that identified her as Jaqueline Fumero DOB 8/24/1963. After running her driver’s license, it was discovered that her driver’s license was suspended. Fumero’s was restricted for Business Purposes Only and thé driver’s license was canceled indefinitely for failure to remain under a supervised DUI Schedule and substance abuse on 10/25/2021.
