OWI Arrest Follows Crash

(La Porte County, IN) - A suspected drunk driver wound up crashing outside of La Porte over the weekend.

 

According to La Porte County Police, officers were called on Saturday night to the 4000 block of North Andrea Drive just west of U.S. 35 and a few miles north of the city limits of La Porte. There, a car was resting against a small tree in front of a residence and the vehicle's female driver was behind the wheel regurgitating.

 

The woman told the officer she had one beer at a friend’s house, but her alleged blood alcohol level was just over three times the legal limit.

 

The driver, Lesles Vera Belandria, was arrested. Her identification was reportedly from Columbia, South America. 

 

No injuries were reported in the crash.
