The woman was heading east on Division Street toward South County Trail. The driver who alerted police continued to follow the car and police caught up with it at Cindy Ann Drive and Middle Road. As police watched, the car drifted over the center line twice and even into the opposite lane of travel. Police tried to stop the car but the driver did not pull over. Eventually, police got the driver to stop; she stopped right in the middle of the street. When talking to the women in her car, police could smell alcohol on her breath. Her eyes were bloodshot and her speech was slurred. When police asked her for license and registration she asked if she could go home. Police had to repeat the request several times. As the woman was getting her license out of her purse, police saw a small bottle of alcohol in it. The woman complied with police requests that she take field sobriety tests, which she failed. Police took her into custody and transported her to EGPD headquarters for processing. She was charged with driving under the influence, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license and refusal to submit to a chemical test (second offense). Police also cited her for leaving lane of travel and operating left of center.
