OVI, Feb. 1 — Police stopped a car on SR 91 after it was seen driving "all over the road." As the vehicle turned from US 422 onto SR 91, it crossed over the white lane markings and then committed other traffic violations, police said. The driver, a 52-year-old Twinsburg woman, denied drinking alcohol, but police said they smelled booze. The woman was chewing gum while speaking with officers. Eventually, it was determined the 52-year-old was impaired, so she was arrested and taken to the Solon Correction Center. She refused to take a breath test. She has been charged with marked lanes violations and operating a vehicle intoxicated. Her driver's license was immediately suspended.

She was arrested and taken to the Solon Correction Center. She took a breath test and blew .162. She was charged with speeding, operating a vehicle impaired, and prohibited BAC.
