(La Porte, IN) - A woman driving erratically after leaving a La Porte bar was arrested last night for being impaired by alcohol.

 

Carol Barker, 62, was arrested for operating while intoxicated.

 

According to La Porte County Police, a deputy witnessed the La Porte woman fail to stop and drive on a sidewalk before pulling onto Pine Lake Ave. after leaving the parking lot of the establishment.

 

Police said Barker started braking abruptly and weaving badly then turned right on Indiana 39 where she veered over the center line multiple times.  She nearly hit a traffic sign when pulling over on the grassy shoulder for the officer on nearby Severs Road.

 

Her alleged blood alcohol level was .193-percent or more than two times the legal limit.
