Jacksonville man charged with DUI while driving with 3 young children in vehicle, deputies say

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – A Jacksonville man is facing multiple charges after Nassau County deputies say he was driving recklessly and under the influence with three young children in his vehicle.

On June 12, Nassau County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a reported domestic incident in Callahan. The victim reported being assaulted by 37-year-old Travis Lewis. Deputies say they later located Lewis driving at high speeds in a reckless manner and conducted a traffic stop.

When deputies stopped Lewis, they discovered three young children inside the vehicle — two 2-year-olds and a 3-month-old infant.

Lewis was transported to the Nassau County Jail & Detention Center, where investigators say he provided breath samples more than 50% above Florida’s legal limit of 0.08.

Lewis was charged with DUI, three counts of DUI with a person under 18 years of age in the vehicle, and reckless driving.
