High Risk Driver Arrested for OWI

(La Porte, IN) - A driver with a cell phone helped police remove a suspected drunk driver posing an extreme danger from the roads in the Michigan City area.

 

Isabel Rosales, 24, was arrested early Sunday for operating while intoxicated.

 

About 1 a.m., police responded to a call from a motorist following the vehicle westbound from the area of Johnson Road and 400 North.  Police said the motorist reported the vehicle after nearly striking a house stopped in the middle of the road multiple times before continuing on and repeatedly crossing the center line.  The vehicle also went off the road more than once before nearly striking a mailbox on the opposite side of the road.

 

Police said Rosales had her shirt on backwards when located inside a residence on 950 West.  She was taken into custody after admitting to consuming alcohol and refusing a blood alcohol test, police said.
