Houston woman arrested two days in a row

A 38-year-old Houston woman was arrested on Tuesday and again on Wednesday on charges of public intioxication.

At 2:34 p.m. Tuesday, officers were advised to be in route to CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital Sulphur Springs for a psychiatric patient causing a disturbance. During contact with officers, the woman was reportedly unable to speak clearly. She allegedly began taking off her clothes and running down the roadway toward a gas station with several civilians, including children. She reportedly attempted to run into the gas station, but officers allegedly used the least amount of force necessary to secure the woman. Hospital staff reportedly cleared the woman after advising she was intoxicated and she was transported to jail. She was released on Wednesday, according to arrest and jail reports.

Officers were dispatched to the intersection of Church and East Park Streets at 3:19 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27 in reference to multiple 911 calls reporting a woman acting strangely. Officers made contact with the woman to check her welfare and reportedly observed her to have slurred speech. She reportedly admitted to having consumed alcohol recently. Officers reportedly conducted field sobriety tests and determined the woman was intoxicated and a danger to herself and others. She was taken into custody and released from jail Thursday, according to arrest and jail reports.

Dragging exhaust leads to arrest

The woman was reportedly stopped for defective equipment when the trooper allegedly observed the vehicle’s exhaust pipe dragging on the ground, completely separated from the muffler. During contact, the trooper reportedly detected the odor of marijuana. She reportedly denied having any marijuana in the vehicle, but stated her boyfriend had smoked marijuana inside the vehicle approximately one hour prior to the traffic stop. The trooper reportedly informed the woman he was going to search her vehicle for marijuana, and she allegedly admitted she had some in her purse.
