Woman Arrested Following Suspected DUI Collision on Clovis Roadway
A brief chase through Clovis streets ended with the arrest of a woman suspected of driving under the influence after she struck a parked car, authorities say.
On a quiet Tuesday evening, officers from the Clovis Police Department responded to a report of a car that had collided with a parked vehicle on the corner of 5th Avenue and Oak Street. The driver, a woman in her early thirties, appeared visibly shaken, and a quick check of her breath suggested alcohol might have been involved.
After a brief, but noticeable, pursuit that lasted just a few blocks, the suspect pulled over near the intersection of 6th and Pine. There, deputies asked her to step out of the vehicle, and she complied without further incident. A field sobriety test was administered on the spot, and the results indicated impairment.
Police took her into custody and transported her to the county jail, where she was formally charged with driving under the influence and property damage. The vehicle that had been hit sustained moderate damage to its rear bumper, but thankfully, no one was injured in the crash.
Detectives later released a statement reminding residents that driving after drinking, even just a little, can quickly turn a routine night into a serious legal and safety issue. They also urged anyone who witnessed the incident or has additional information to contact the department.
The woman is expected to appear before a judge later this week. If convicted, she could face fines, a license suspension, and possibly a short stint behind bars, depending on the court's decision.
