After being brought under control at Taser Point, both suspects were taken into custody. Investigators later confirmed the driver was operating the vehicle with a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit for turning a hit-and- run into a physical attack on law enforcement. The pair was hit with a mountain of charges, including aggravated battery on a peace officer, DWI, and leaving the scene of an accident and finally resisting arrest. While the adult female was booked into the county detention center, the juvenile male was released to the custody of his mother to await trial.
