A South Bend woman was arrested at about 2 a.m. December 22 after Plymouth Police were dispatched to Jefferson and Michigan Streets for a possibly impaired driver.
The suspect vehicle was reported traveling south on Liberty Street from Jefferson before pulling into a yard. Plymouth Police located the vehicle in a yard with the driver still in the driver's seat.
The driver was identified as Karen Sue Matovich, 50. Police suspected her of being under the influence of alcohol and narcotics.
Matovich refused field sobriety and chemical testing, resulting in a search warrant being obtained. She was taken into custody after it was determined her blood alcohol concentration was nearly four times the legal limit.
Matovich was booked into the Marshall County Jail for operating a vehicle while intoxicated over .15 and endangering.
