[The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office wrote](https://www.facebook.com/SuffolkSheriff/photos/a.353841714709535.87680.329683123792061/1716300331796993/?type=3&theater "undefined") that Ildefonso approached Deputy Sheriff Yvonne DeCaro and attempted to order a “[bacon, egg and cheese](http://www.extracrispy.com/food/3411/the-bacon-egg-and-beer-cheese-sandwich-will-be-your-best-friend-if-you-let-it "undefined").” Deputy DeCaro told Ildefonso she was, in fact, not at a drive thru but at a correctional facility. Ildefonso allegedly repeated her request for a sandwich. While the interaction was taking place, Deputy DeCaro “observed that the driver’s pupils were dilated, had glassy eyes, and had a white powder residue in her left nostril,” reports the Sheriff’s Office. Additionally, Ildefonso did not have a valid license. Ildefonso was placed under arrest after a low performance on sobriety tests. She was charged with Driving While Ability Impaired and driving without a license. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5205886/sandwich-order-jail-security-booth-arrest/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5205886/sandwich-order-jail-security-booth-arrest/"},"headline":"Woman Gets Arrested After Trying to Order a Sandwich at a Jail Security Booth","datePublished":"2018-03-19T19:43:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:28.889Z","description":"She wanted to order a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich","url":"https://time.com/5205886/sandwich-order-jail-security-booth-arrest/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Bizarre"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47fcb79200f4a200/69892b49bc6cfc85dc3e563c/egg-sandwich-lizabeth-ildefonso-arrest.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lena Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lena-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47fcb79200f4a200/69892b49bc6cfc85dc3e563c/egg-sandwich-lizabeth-ildefonso-arrest.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Breakfast Sandwich (with path)","caption":"Breakfast Sandwich (with path)","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5205886/sandwich-order-jail-security-booth-arrest/","name":"Woman Gets Arrested After Trying to Order a Sandwich at a Jail Security Booth"}}]}] ```
