Impaired driver pulled over for blowing through stop sign
A 27-year-old Chatham woman has been charged with impaired driving after police spotted a vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign in Chatham early Friday morning.
Police said an officer on general patrol saw the vehicle in the area of McLean Street and William Street in Chatham.
After initiating a traffic stop, the officer believed the driver was under the influence of alcohol. The woman who was behind the wheel allegedly failed a roadside test, so she was taken back to police headquarters for further testing.
She was later charged with having a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit and released pending a future court date.
