#WhileYouWereSleeping….Deputies investigating a traffic collision blocked a lane of traffic in order to prevent traffic flow from driving through the scene in Newhall. While proceeding through with investigation and ensuring all parties received assistance, a female driver decided she would squeeze through a patrol vehicle blocking the lane, and drive through the scene of the collision.
Deputies immediately ordered the female driver to stop after causing damage to the patrol vehicle. As they contacted the female, deputies immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her breath. Deputies conducted field sobriety tests on the woman and determined she was under the influence of alcohol, with a BAC of .23%.
She was booked into the station for DUI and later released on citation to appear in court at a later date. As a reminder, please always have a designated driver planned ahead. Help keep our streets safe by avoiding drinking and driving. #HeadsUp
