Following the arrest on March 30th, the driver remained in custody and made her first appearance in court the next day. Court records show she was later released on April 14th after posting a combined total of $3,500 in bonds. That means she spent roughly 2 weeks in custody before bonding out while the case continued through the court system. Deputies said she completed the required 20-minute observation period before providing two breath samples that reportedly measured 0.126 [music] and 0.121, both over the legal limit. She was ultimately charged with DUI, resisting arrest with violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, and criminal mischief for allegedly damaging the patrol vehicle. Court records later showed prosecutors dropped [music] the criminal mischief charge tied to the patrol vehicle damage. However, the remaining charges continued moving through the court process. As always, all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
