Deputies pulled over a man for driving on the wrong side of the road on Monday and found two children not wearing seat belts and a driver who smelled of alcohol, reports said.

Federico Morales, 22, of the 5000 block of Carlton Street in East Naples, was arrested by Collier County sheriff's deputies early Monday near the intersection of U.S. 41 and Commercial Boulevard in East Naples and charged with DUI with a person under 18. He was also issued three traffic citations for the seat belt/child restraint infractions and a citation for driving on the wrong side of the road.

But Morales wasn't concerned, telling deputies he has enough money "to buy his way out of anything,â€
