A 46-year-old Bellefontaine woman is facing OVI charges after police say she was driving under the influence Thursday afternoon.
Officers were called just before 2:00 after a caller reported that a vehicle was stuck at the intersection of West Sandusky Avenue and North Detroit Street.
The caller also reported smelling alcohol on the driver, who had left the scene.
Officers later found the white Subaru in a parking lot and pulled it over.
The driver, identified as Josie Creek, told officers she had just finished a 12-hour work shift and had consumed one beer.
Police reported Creek showed several signs of intoxication.
Creek later admitted to drinking a beer and a shot.
Officers also noted she had two prior OVI convictions.
Creek was arrested and taken to the Bellefontaine Police Department, where she refused to provide a breath sample.
That resulted in an administrative suspension of her driver’s license.
She was charged with OVI and refusing a chemical test, with a prior OVI conviction.
Both charges require a court appearance.
Creek is scheduled to appear in Bellefontaine Municipal Court on November 18.
She was later released to a sober driver.
