A Riverhead woman was arrested for driving drunk while speeding and yelling at the troopers in Riverside, according to State Police.

Rosalie Jackson, 26, was stopped for driving 60 mph in a 40 mph zone and driving with a broken taillight on Nugent Drive on Saturday, police said.

The troopers found she was intoxicated, according to police.

During the arrest, she refused to cooperate with the troopers and became extremely irate, refusing to enter the car and shouting profanities at the troopers, police said.

Further investigation revealed that Jackson was wanted on a warrant out of the Riverhead Town Court for a previous DWI arrest, according to police.
