On Thursday, June 11, 2026, a Polk County Sheriff’s Traffic deputy conducting traffic enforcement in the area of U.S. Hwy 27 and Peace Creek Park Road in Lake Wales observed a 2025 BMW sedan heading northbound on Hwy 27 at a high rate of speed. The radar measured the vehicle’s speed at 100 MPH in a 60 MPH zone. The driver, 49-year-old Joseph Olivera of Winter Haven, was also aggressively weaving through traffic across all three lanes, causing other motorists to brake and swerve in order to avoid collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The deputy conducted a traffic stop and confirmed Olivera’s license has been revoked since 2022, with 13 active suspensions due to DUI, refusal to submit to a breath test, criminal failure to pay citations, failure to appear for multiple court summons, and failure to pay child support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the interaction with the deputy, Olivera exhibited several signs of impairment and had several open containers of alcohol in his car. He refused to provide a breath sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivera was taken into custody and charged with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUI 3rd or subsequent offense (F3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving while license suspended or revoked – habitual (F3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refusal to submit breath sample (M1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous excessive speeding (M2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m not sure how many more times this suspect needs to be put behind bars to learn the errors of his ways – it’s miraculous he hasn’t killed someone else or himself with his history of DUI charges and illegal driving. If you see him behind the wheel of a vehicle, please dial 911 so we can get him off the road as quickly as possible.\u201d \u2013 Grady Judd, Sheriff <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
