“The concerned caller continued to follow the car until it was on Daniel Webster Highway where police were able to intercept it,” Dillon noted. “Once police were behind it, they immediately saw the vehicle pass over the double yellow lines.”

When the vehicle was stopped, Scofield allegedly showed signs of alcohol impairment and after a brief investigation, she was arrested.

Scofield was charged, processed, and released on personal recognizance bail, and is due in court on July 19.
