An 18-year-old woman was arrested early Wednesday for misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and hit and run causing property damage, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
The El Dorado Hills, Calif., woman was arrested at 4:33 a.m. in the area of Siskiyou and Gordonia streets.
According to the arrest report, a deputy responded to the area for a report of a hit and run accident. The reporting party stated a sports utility vehicle struck another vehicle in front of his residence. The reporting party said the vehicle sped away after switching drivers.
The witness observed the driver involved was a female with blonde hair and stated the second driver was a male with short black hair.
A deputy located the suspect vehicle, with heavy damage that matched the description provided by the witness, near the intersection of Siskiyou and Gordon.
The officer made contact with the woman who was seated in the passenger’s seat. She and the male in the driver’s seat appeared to be heavily intoxicated while speaking, with slurred speech pattern and red watery eyes. There was a heavy odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle, the arrest report states.
The woman informed the deputy she was driving and got into the accident. She further stated that after the accident the male got into the driver’s seat and attempted to drive them away from the accident. She admitted that she did have a cell phone and did not attempt to report the accident, the report states. She further stated they pulled around the block and stopped the vehicle.
The witness was able to identify the woman as being in physical control of the vehicle during the accident, the arrest report states.
