Ft. Wayne woman arrested by city police for OWI & OWI Endangerment

Plymouth Police were dispatched to U.S. 30 and Pioneer Drive Friday, January 3^rd just after 5 p.m. for a three-vehicle crash. 

Officer Lovely began gathering driver information and speaking with the drivers about the crash.  He detected the odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from the driver of the vehicle that caused the crash, 23-year-old Emma Day of Fort Wayne. 

He asked Day if she had been drinking alcoholic drinks and she advised that she had one glass of wine before leaving Chicago. She agreed to standardized field sobriety testing and was transported to Love's parking lot to conduct three field sobriety tests, of which she failed two. 

Officer Lovely offered Day a preliminary breath test and the result was a reading of .259.  She was transported to St. Joseph Hospital for a certified test that showed her blood alcohol level at .310. 

Emma Day was transported to the County Jail where she was lodged for operating while intoxicated endangerment as a class A misdemeanor and operating while intoxicated with a BAC above .15 as a class A misdemeanor.
