Police arrested a 58-year-old Harrison Avenue woman for drunk driving late Friday after she failed field sobriety tests following a single-car crash on Oenoke Ridge Road.
The accident just around the corner from God’s Acre around 11:21 p.m. on Sept. 18, according to a police report. Police arriving on scene said in a report that the woman showed signs of inebriation such as glassy eyes, and that they detected the odor of alcohol on her person.
She breath-tested at more than twice the legal alcohol limit, the report said. Firefighters arriving on scene ensured that the area was adequately lit as motorists passed the accident, officials say.
Police charged the woman with driving under the influence and cited her for failure to drive in the established lane.
She was released on $250 bond and scheduled to appear Oct. 1 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
