ROCHESTER — A 32-year-old woman was arrested after she crashed her vehicle into a snow bank near the Bonner Elementary School around 3 p.m. on Jan. 30, 2023, according to Olmsted County Sheriff's Capt. Tim Parkin.

According to Parkin:

A blood alcohol test would show the woman with a .32 blood alcohol level.

When Olmsted County Sheriff deputies arrived, the woman showed signs of impairment, and struggled to identify herself or the events leading up to the crash.

"I'm guessing the level of intoxication played a role in that," Parkin said.

She's expected to be arraigned in Olmsted County District Court today, Feb. 2, 2023.
