A 44 year-old Carson City woman was arrested late Friday night at 11:03 p.m. in the 400 block of North Curry Street for misdemeanor driving under the influence (DUI) and accident hit-and-run, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
According to the report, a Sheriff's deputy was dispatched to the scene of a hit and run accident. Upon arrival, two witnesses reported seeing a female driver accelerate at a high rate of speed and strike a parked Dodge vehicle.
The struck vehicle was unoccupied, on law enforcement observation, with damage to its rear end. Debris from both vehicles was located on the ground near the parked Dodge, the report said.
The suspect vehicle, a gray Subaru, was located by another responding deputy. On observation, the Subaru showed major front-end damage consistent with the damage to the struck Dodge.
A woman was observed sitting on the porch of a residence nearby and the witnesses were brought over to identify the suspect, the report said. The witnesses positively identified the woman on the porch as the driver of the hit-and-run suspect vehicle.
When approached by deputies and asked about the incident, the woman reported her boyfriend was driving the vehicle when it struck the parked Dodge. The witnesses denied there was any male in the vehicle, the report said. They reported the vehicle was only occupied by the female.
Upon striking the vehicle, the suspect reportedly got out of the driver's side of the Subaru and regarded the Dodge vehicle that was hit, the witnesses reported to law enforcement. She then got back into the Subaru and drove off around the corner.
The suspect admitted to consuming alcohol, the report said, a martini at a nearby pub. The interviewing deputy could smell alcohol coming from the suspect, who consented to field sobriety testing (FST), which showed signs of impairment.
A preliminary breath test (PBT) was also consented to, the report said, and the suspect provided a breath-alcohol content sampling of .192 percent.
She was handcuffed at that point and taken into custody, transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $1,000.
