Woman arrested for driving while intoxicated, careless driving
LSU Police Department officers arrested a 22-year-old woman unaffiliated with the University on Tuesday at 2:17 a.m. for driving while intoxicated and careless driving on Chimes Street, according to Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman.
An LSUPD officer was investigating a car accident when Meagan Johnson, of 1414 Magnolia Ridge, drove her car close to the officer’s car, backed into the roadway and then hit the officer’s car, Tabor said.
The officer stopped Johnson, who showed signs of intoxication and smelled like alcohol, Tabor said.
Johnson failed all three sobriety tests and was transported to the LSUPD office, where she took a breathalyzer test showing she had a 0.178 blood alcohol content, Tabor said.
Johnson was arrested, transported and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for DWI and careless operation of a motor vehicle.
