A wreck on Interstate 24 at the 92-mile marker in Christian County led to several felony charges for a North Carolina woman Monday morning.
Christian County Sheriff’s deputies say at 1:03 am, they were called for a wreck involving 41-year-old Reenada Perez of Franklinton, North Carolina.
When they arrived, it was reportedly found that she had been driving recklessly and sideswiped another vehicle before taking out a large quantity of cable barriers.
Deputies say she had slurred speech, trouble standing, and admitted to drinking alcohol.
After being arrested and while driving to jail, she reportedly tried to slip out of her handcuffs. Deputies say she was taken to the hospital after requesting a blood test and calling 911 after claiming she didn’t think the deputy was real law enforcement.
Perez is charged with DUI, first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree wanton endangerment, attempted third-degree escape, and wireless emergency phone service violations.
