On March 3, police in the area of Oakland Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard saw a white 2021 Tesla Model Y turning onto Oakland at 12:52 a.m. During the turn, the vehicle hit the curb at the intersection. Police said the vehicle did not stop after contacting the curb and was traveling above the speed limit.
Police pulled over the vehicle and the officer said the driver exhibited signs of intoxication including watery eyes and slurred speech. Monahan said the officer also could smell alcohol on the female driver. The officer also could see a nearly empty bottle of wine in the vehicle’s center console cupholder.
Monahan said the driver admitted to consuming alcohol. After a field sobriety test was administered, the driver refused a preliminary alcohol screening. The driver was taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin where breathalizer tests twice showed a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) result of 0.14 percent. She was booked for DUI.
