Police on April 11 arrested a 40-year-old Stamford woman and charged her with driving under the influence.
At about 9:49 p.m. that Friday, officers responded to the intersection of Jelliff Mill and Old Stamford Roads on a report of a vehicle that struck a New Canaan Fire Department truck and fled the scene, police said.
Through an investigation, police found the vehicle parked with heavy front-end damage at Jelliff Mill and Shady Knoll Lane, according to a police report.
The woman was the only occupant of the vehicle and, in speaking with her, the investigating officer smelled alcohol on her breath and found other signs of impairment, the report said.
After administering field sobriety tests, police charged her with the misdemeanor offense, it said.
She was transported to police headquarters. There, she refused to provide a breath sample to establish her blood-alcohol level, the report said.
She was released on $300 bond and scheduled to appear April 25 in state Superior Court.
