She’s been charged with misdemeanor counts of operating a vehicle with alcohol concentration equivalent to .15 or more, operating while intoxicated endangering a person, leaving the scene of an accident and operating a vehicle with alcohol concentration equivalent to at least .08 but less than .15.
