Woman accused of driving high
A 25-year-old woman from Corunna is charged with impaired driving after police allegedly found an intoxicated woman behind the wheel of a vehicle in Chatham.
Police said they found the woman while they were responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle on St. George Street at around 7 p.m. Thursday.
Officers said when they approached her, she appeared to be disoriented while sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle, which was still running and in drive.
Police were able to get into the vehicle through an open window and put the vehicle in park.
Through their investigation, officers believed the woman was under the influence of a drug, so she was taken to the hospital for medical attention.
Once she was medically cleared, she was arrested and taken back to police headquarters for an evaluation by a Drug Recognition Expert.
After that evaluation, the woman was charged with impaired driving and later released with a future court date.
