A Pennsylvania woman was charged with driving while intoxicated after Penn Yan police responded to a traffic complaint involving a vehicle that was having difficulty staying in its lane and was being driven on a flat tire.
Police said Nydia Torres-Guevara, 47, of Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, was arrested Aug. 7 after officers responded to the Lake Street area.
Officers found the vehicle stopped in the roadway before it pulled into a nearby parking lot.
Police said the vehicle had heavy damage to the rear passenger-side tire that was consistent with striking a fixed object.
During an interview with Torres-Guevara, officers observed several signs of intoxication, according to police.
She was given standardized field sobriety tests, which police said she failed, and was then taken into custody.
Torres-Guevara was transported to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital, where she voluntarily submitted to a blood draw.
She was charged with driving while intoxicated, consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle and unsafe tire.
Police said additional charges are pending the results of the blood test.
Torres-Guevara was issued traffic tickets and is scheduled to appear in Penn Yan Village Court at a later date.
