(La Porte County, IN) - A driver who crashed into a tree in the Kingsbury area last night was arrested for allegedly being impaired. Eunique Jackson, 30, was booked into the La Porte County Jail with an alleged blood alcohol level close to three times the .08 percent legal limit. The crash occurred about 11 p.m. in the 3100 block of S. 150 West near Luhr Park Nature Center.
La Porte County Police said responding officers discovered Jackson still seated in her 2019 Jeep Cherokee, which was in a ditch resting against the tree it struck. The Kingsbury area woman was taken by ambulance with small cuts on her hand and chin while complaining of pain to her head, police said.
While at Northwest Health, police said Jackson was verbally abusive to nurses on several occasions while they were trying to treat her. Police said she also refused to cooperate with officers, who were forced to put shackles around her legs after she tried to kick one of the officers and used her legs to keep from being placed into a squad car. She was arrested for operating while intoxicated and resisting law enforcement, both Class A misdemeanors.
