A 29-year-old woman was arrested Sunday, suspected of drunken driving, after investigators said they found her slumped over the steering wheel of a sport utility vehicle in Northfield Township.
About 7 p.m., Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies found the SUV stopped near the road in the 5000 block of Whitmore Lake Road and interviewed the driver, who smelled of alcohol, deputies said.
The driver consented to a preliminary breath test, which revealed her blood-alcohol level was about twice the legal limit, sheriff's department spokesman Sgt. Thomas Pennington said. In Michigan, it's illegal to drive with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher.
The woman, who is from Northfield Township, was taken into custody. Pennington said he did not have further details this morning.
Charges are pending.
