Channel 2 Action News obtained a copy of the incident report Thursday that reveals what an officer says led up to her arrest. An officer spotted a driver in a Mercedes Benz ignore a traffic sign and make a U-Turn at a red light.
The officer pulled over the driver, who identified herself as Woods. The officer “immediately noticed her eyes to be watery and bloodshot” and could “smell the odor of marijuana” in the car and alcohol on her breath.
The officer asked Woods what she had to drink and how much, but wrote that she would only say “it does not matter” and that she was “good to drive,” according to the report.
She agreed to do a field sobriety test during which the officer said they noticed multiple signs that she was under the influence. After the test, Woods did not agree to a breathalyzer test.
The officer added that Woods had exposed part of her chest while she was being questioned but did not notice until the officer told her to pull over her jacket, according to the report.
Woods was arrested and a man who later arrived at the scene was allowed to take her car.
