SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On February 19, 2006 at approximately 2052 hours, I
responded to a motor vehicle accident at he McDonald’s
Restaurant on Swanton Road in St. Albans Town. I was
advised by dispatch that the complainant was a tractor
trailer driver for McDonald’s and that a red Ford Explorer
bearing a Vermont Registration had hit his truck and had
left the accident scene. He stated to dispatch that the
operator and her male passenger might both be
intoxicated. I issued a be-on-the-lookout bulletin to stop
and hold the red Ford Explorer.  At approximately 2108
hours I located this vehicle traveling southbound on Route
7 in the area of the Energizer Battery Plant. I conducted a
motor vehicle stop and identified the operator as Mary
Nieman. I immediately smelled the odor of intoxicants
emanating from the interior of her vehicle. I administered
her field sobriety exercises and she was subsequently
arrested and processed for driving under the influence.
The complainant’s tractor trailer was not damaged,
Neiman’s vehicle sustained minor damage as a result of
the incident.
