(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte woman clocked at 95 miles per hour is facing felony drunk driving allegations after convicted of OWI earlier this year.

Alexis Smith, 22, is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 6 felony operating while intoxicated and Class B misdemeanor reckless driving.

La Porte County Police said an officer clocked her traveling 40 miles per hour above the 55 mph speed limit in the 2200 block of E. Indiana 2.  The officer did a U-turn and caught up to the vehicle, which pulled over at Indiana 2 and 400 East.

Her alleged blood alcohol level was nearly two times the legal .08 percent limit.

According to authorities, the charge was elevated to a felony due to her having a prior OWI conviction in February in St. Joseph County.
