The woman told police she had only drank “just a little” before driving. In their report, police said the woman could not balance on her feet and slurred her words. Police also stated they saw two opened nips in the car, one in her purse and the other in the center cup holder. When the woman realized the police officer was going to arrest her, she “mumbled something about her needing to get away” from the office, according to a police report.
