GP Police Nabbed Motorist for Impaired Driving in Weekend Traffic Complaint

Grants Pass Police arrested a motorist for impaired driving following a weekend traffic complaint in the south part of the city.

According to the Police Department, officers contacted the female driver of a 2005 Chrysler Pacific station wagon at Baskin Robbins Ice Cream on Union Avenue on Saturday around 2:15 a.m..

Police said a fellow motorist called 9-1-1 after the female subject nearly rear-ended them and could not maintain her lane of travel. Officers located the suspect vehicle and the woman had the driver-side door open while vomiting. Multiple signs of impairment were observed and she performed poorly in field sobriety tests.

The 32-year-old suspect was placed into custody and transported to the Grants Pass Sobering Center where she provided a breath sample that exceeded the legal driving limit. She was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, given a court date and lodged at the Sobering Center. Her vehicle was impounded.
