The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested an Arcadia woman last Thursday after an ambulance crew saw her erratic driving.
Denise L. Reynolds, 52, was charged with second offense DWI and careless operation of a vehicle after she allegedly ran in a ditch while a Pafford EMS ambulance was following her.
The Pafford crew reported a car headed south on La. Highway 33 was all over the road and eventually crashed into a ditch. Responding deputies found Reynolds in the driver’s seat.
Reynolds refused treatment by Pafford and denied drinking alcohol. He admitted taking an Ambien sleeping pill before driving. Field sobriety tests were administered and Reynolds was arrested. She was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. Bail was set at $2,500.
