Deputies Nabbed Motorist for DUII near Merlin after She had DUII Crash in GP
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a motorist for impaired driving in the North Valley area last weekend.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies pulled over a Toyota Camry driven by 83-year-old Susan Baker in the 3500-block of Merlin Road on Saturday afternoon.
Deputies said they were alerted to Baker by a fellow motorist who reported that she was following the Camry which was all over the roadway, ran through a stop light, nearly hit another vehicle, and almost went over the parking barrier at Ray's Food Place.
Upon arrival, deputies said Baker displayed signs of impairment and she admitted that she was driving a rental car because she had totaled her own vehicle in an impaired driving crash in Grants Pass last week. She even noted that the rental car was damaged after she backed into a retaining wall at her Colonial Valley home.
Susan Baker was taken to Three Rivers Medical Center for a legal blood draw and then to the Grants Pass Sobering Center where she was lodged for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Reckless Driving.
