GP Woman Nabbed for Suspended Driving while Taking Impaired Friend Home

A Grants Pass woman did the right thing by offering to drive a highly intoxicated man home from a party, but she did the wrong thing by doing so with a suspended license.

Grants Pass Police initially responded to a domestic disturbance at the 7-Eleven on SW 6th Street on Thursday around 5 a.m..

Police said a man they identified as "Kade Spencer" was trying to kick out the windshield of a Chevrolet sedan driven by 21-year-old Hailey Berry. They tracked down the vehicle and pulled it over on the Grants Pass Parkway near the Debbs Potts Memorial Bridge.

An investigation determined that Berry was driving Spencer home because he was too impaired to be behind the wheel. A verbal dispute erupted between the pair at the downtown convenience store where Spencer damaged his mother's car. Further investigation determined that Berry's driving privileges had been suspended.

Berry was cited to appear in court for Driving While Suspended and then released, but the damaged sedan was impounded.
