A 42-year-old Darien woman was “stumbling” into her vehicle and had trouble opening the front door in a parking lot on Heights Road, Darien police say they were told late Saturday night.
Police responded to the report of a possibly intoxicated driver, and when she drove to Hecker Avenue, police stopped her car. She was charged with driving while under the influence.
Police gave this further account, including accusations not proven in court:
Police responded to the report at 11:22 p.m., Saturday, April 13. When she was stopped, the woman couldn’t perform standard field sobriety tests to a minimum standard. When taken to Darien Police Headquarters, she refused to submit to a breathalyzer test.
The woman, who lives on Warner Drive, was released on payment of 7% of her $100 bond (seven dollars). She is scheduled to appear April 29 in state Superior Court in Stamford.
