***

Deputy Josiah Hemm reported an incident about a drunk woman walking down Back Penn Road, Pennville, on June 26 around 10:25 p.m.

The Deputy stated: “I was dispatched to a pedestrian walking in the roadway showing signs of being intoxicated on Back Penn Road at the railroad tracks. Upon my arrival I noticed the pedestrian walking in and out of the roadway. I then parked my patrol car and stepped and began talking with the female, asking her as to why she was walking in the roadway, and she advised she was just walking to the store to pick up some cigarettes. I could tell at this time that she was intoxicated so I asked her (Mrs. Cynthia Perez) exactly how much she had been drinking tonight. She advised two beers, so I then had her blow in a portable Alco-Sensor. The Alco-Sensor then came back showing alcohol in her system so I then advised Mrs. Perez she was under arrest for walking the roadway while being intoxicated. Mrs. Perez was then placed under arrest and transported to the jail on charges of pedestrian under the influence.
