By JOE HUTCHISON, US NEWS REPORTER
Newly resurfaced bodycam footage shows the moment a Florida college student is arrested for drunk driving and begs cops not to send her to jail.
Officers are seen in the video footage, which was originally captured in February of 2021, arresting the then 19-year-old Olivia Urick.
The teenager claimed she had been returning from work at the time. She was adamant she had not been drinking but did admit she had one vodka while on shift.
In the footage, Urick can be heard pleading with the arresting officer, saying: ‘Please do not charge me with this, I’ve already been in jail, I’ll do anything to stay out of it.’

The videos shows officers running Urick through a series of roadside tests. Her eyes are inspected and cops make her walk on a white road marking to check her balance.
After failing these checks, Urick is placed in cuffs and continues to plead with officers to let her go.
She can be heard saying: ‘I’m sorry, please don’t. Please sir, I beg of you. I am not drunk, I will do a breathalyzer test right in front of you.
‘I’ve been to jail and I have very bad PTSD from jail, I just wanted to let you know. Please don’t take me there, I will do anything.
‘I don’t drink under the job, you can breathalyze me right now. I didn’t drink.’
After a few minutes of attempting to dissuade the officers, they eventually load her into the back of a patrol car.
According to a police report seen by Behind the Mugshot, Urick would go on to blow 0.142 into a breathalyzer machine.
Due to the incident, Urick agreed to do 50 hours of community service, had her vehicle impounded for ten days and had to pay a $500 donation to a non profit.
She was reportedly also arrested for burglary, battery and criminal mischief in October 2020. And in January of this year she was detained again for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

DailyMail.com has approached University of Central Florida Police Department, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Urick for comment.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Urick is studying hospitality administration and management at the University of Central Florida.
Earlier this year separate footage showed another young woman in Florida begging cops to let her Father come and rescue her after being pulled over for a DUI.
Stephanie Bloodworth, then 24, was pulled over in February 2022 for speeding around her Florida island in a Tesla because the cop suspected she might have been driving under the influence.
Bloodworth was caught on dash cam as she was initially pulled over after cops received a reckless driving report on North Bahama drive in Duck Key, Florida.
She ‘refused to comply’ with the arrest, according to the officer, and is heard telling the cop ‘I own this island’ as she got behind the wheel and sped away.
Bloodworth was taken to the police station for a sobriety evaluation where she was caught on CCTV struggling to complete the breathalyzer test at around 9pm.
The 24-year old was charged for resisting an officer, fleeing police, a DUI, and a moving traffic violation for reckless driving.
