Police last week arrested a 19-year-old Norwalk woman and charged her with driving under the influence.
At about 4 p.m. on April 9, officers responded to the area of Old Stamford Road and the Merritt Parkway on a report of a two-car crash, police said.
There, one of the drivers—the teen—showed signs of impairment and officers could smell alcohol on her, according to a police report.
After conducting field sobriety tests, police brought the misdemeanor DUI charge, and also charged her with operating with a license and following too closely.
At police headquarters, she provided two breath samples to establish her blood-alcohol level, which came back at .1967 and .189, well over the legal limit for people younger than 21 (.02) and more than double the limit for those 21-plus (.08).
She was released on $300 bond and scheduled to appear April 22 in state Superior Court.
