During the course of the subsequent investigation, the officer found additional evidence to suggest that the woman had been operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. She was then placed under arrest and charged with Failure to Maintain Lane, Tag Light Violation, Open Container, No License on Person, and DUI (Less Safe).
