Police on Aug. 9 arrested a 21-year-old Bridgeport woman and charged her with driving under the influence.
At about 11:30 p.m. that Sunday, an officer stopped the woman as she drove the wrong way down Elm Street, according to a police report.
In a subsequent stop, the officer found signs of impairment in the driver, the report said.
After administering field sobriety tests, police charged her with the misdemeanor offense, it said.
At headquarters, she provided two breath samples to establish her blood-alcohol level, with results of .234 and .230, police said — both nearly three times the legal limit.
She additionally was cited for driving the wrong way down a one-way street.
Police released the woman on $300 bond and scheduled her to appear Aug. 19 in state Superior Court.
Does this make anyone else MADD?
If so, see you at the Addiction Vigil downtown on September 1.
$300 bond ? So she can injure a child or adult while out . 3x legal limit – she should be incarcerated to insure the communities safety.
They don’t release people to drive off in their cars still drunk. DUIs always bond out.
Got it Micheal but that bond is a bit low for 3x limit and driving the wrong way on elm.
I don’t know—people don’t need to be drunk to drive the wrong way on Elm, it happens just about every day, according to the merchants.
How about a no left turn sign by the stop sign on South Avenue at the Elm Street intersection?
Sorry “ no right turn” oops – darn spell check
but those words are spelled very differently roy
