COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Columbus woman is in jail after she left the scene of a crash and a breath test revealed her blood alcohol level was .108%.
The crash happened around 1:45 a.m. Friday near 10th Street and North National Road. According to police, both vehicles had left the area.
Bartholomew County sheriff's deputies later found one of the crashed vehicles — a silver SUV — and stopped it on 10th Street. Officers with the Columbus Police Department assisted in the traffic stop and discovered the passenger, 23-year-old Brittney A. Spears, had been driving the vehicle when it crashed.
Spears did field sobriety tests and a breath test that showed her BAC was beyond the legal limit.
Officers arrested Spears and transported her to the Bartholomew County Jail. She's facing preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident and false informing.
