— A 26-year-old Carson City woman was arrested early Sunday near the intersection of Imperial Way and College Parkway on suspicion of driving under the influence first offense, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

According to the arrest report, a driver noticed a vehicle driving suspiciously and began to follow. The vehicle he was following pulled over and the passenger exited, and walked around to assist the driver — who appeared to be vomiting.

A CCSO deputy arrived and upon contact observed fresh vomit sticking to the side of the vehicle from where the driver would be sitting.

The suspect agreed to standard field sobriety tests and displayed impairment during each test. Between the horizontal gaze and walk-and-turn test the suspect asked to zip up her jacket, the arrest report states.

The brakes were applied and the rear of the vehicle drifted to the left, then to the right before the driver recovered and continued southbound, a deputy said.

The driver was pulled over, and upon contact the officer reports she had a strong odor of alcohol and marijuana. Observing red watery eyes and droopy eyelids the CCSO deputy asked the suspect to exit the vehicle, the arrest report states.

The suspects shoe laces were untied and her speech was slurred and her movements were slow and deliberate, the report states. She showed impairment during standard field sobriety tests, a CCSO deputy said.

At the jail, while completing the observation period for the evidentiary breath test, the suspect turned her shirt around stating she had been wearing her shirt backwards, the arrest report states.
