Woman caught going the wrong way on Big Beaver Road tells cops she had 3 glasses of wine before driving


TROY (WWJ) -- A wrong-way driver from Macomb County has been charged under Michigan's "Super Drunk Law" after she was pulled over in Troy.

Shortly before 2 a.m. last Thursday, Troy police responded to a call about a silver SUV that was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of Big Beaver Road.

When officers arrived, they spotted a 2019 Cadillac XT5 still going in the wrong direction, with a 46-year-old woman behind the wheel.

When officers pulled her over, they "immediately smelled an odor of intoxicants" coming from the driver, according to the police report.

When questioned, police said the driver admitted to having three glasses of wine before she got behind the wheel.

The woman, identified as a Harrison Township resident, failed a series of sobriety tests before testing at a .198% BAC on a breathalyzer, police said.

She was arrested and taken to the Troy Police Lock-Up where a chemical breath test showed .21%.

Under Michigan's Super Drunk Laws, drivers with a BAC more than twice the state's legal limit of .08% face stiffer penalties, including a possible jail term of up to 180 days if convicted.

The woman was issued a citation for Operating with a Blood Alcohol Content of .17% or More and Driving While License Not Valid.

The driver's name was not released.

Ballingry: Drunk woman punched next door neighbour



A BALLINGRY woman was “full of drink” when she attacked her next door neighbour, who was also a good friend.

As a result, 37-year-old Linda Faulds, of Kirkland Avenue, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

She admitted that on July 22, in Kirkland Avenue, she assaulted a woman by punching her repeatedly to the face to her injury.

Depute fiscal Azrah Yousaf said the victim was Faulds’ next door neighbour and they had been good friends up to then.

They had been drinking together at the woman’s house. The woman was then invited to join another neighbour for a drink and Faulds felt she was “being given the brush-off”.

Later, Faulds attacked the woman. The depute said: “She jumped on top of her in the house and punched her several times.

“The complainer was bleeding heavily. The next morning, she called an ambulance because of the swelling to her eye.”

Defence solicitor Alexander Flett said: “Both of them were full of drink and she’d been accused of stealing a key. She says she had something of a problem with alcohol at the time but is now off the drink.”

Sheriff Craig McSherry fined Faulds £420.
