OWI for Driver Posing Safety Risk

(La Porte County, IN) - On Sunday afternoon, a La Porte woman posing a real danger on the roads was arrested for drunk driving.

 

La Porte County Police were contacted by another driver regarding a vehicle in front of her being all over the roadway, and even stopping at times in the middle of her travel lane before resuming on Route 6 near 875 East.

 

A short time later, authorities noted that the suspect pulled up to a strange home and crookedly parked in the driveway. The driver, Nancy Garcia, 44, reportedly told an officer who arrived a short time later that she had just a few beers. However, police said, she seemed very impaired judging by her slurred speech and the heavy odor of alcohol on her breath.

 

She was ultimately arrested for refusing to submit to a blood alcohol test.
