The woman whose story of a romantic interlude with Frank Gifford found its way to tabloid front pages has been arrested in Florida on a charge of drunken driving. Suzen Johnson was arrested Sept. 7 after the car she was driving rear-ended a pickup truck, according to Boca Raton police reports. Johnson, 48, had a 0.17 blood-alcohol level, nearly twice the legal limit, according to police. She was booked on a charge of driving while intoxicated, released, and is due back in court Wednesday.
