40-year-old Allison Kwilos was seen driving with a blown-out tire on Highway 70 South on July 13th. Officers were alerted by three witnesses that a drunk driver was driving erratically with damage to the front end of their vehicle. Witnesses continued to get Kwilos to stop driving until officers arrived. Once officers arrived at the Walgreens parking lot, they tried to speak with Kwilos, who reeked of alcohol. Kwilos was asked for her ID, but she told officers she could not remember where she parked. Kwilos quickly started to get angry with the officers and walked off to call her attorney. Officers detained Kwilos to ensure she did not leave the scene. Kwilos was asked how she arrived at the location and said she drove her mother’s car there. Kwilos added that she wanted to report how the witnesses stopped her from driving. Kwilos then admitted that she was intoxicated but noted that it was a night prior. Kwilos refused to conduct any tests and denied implied consent. When asked how drunk she was on a scale of one through ten, she stated that she was a five if coffee was involved. Officers later found five empty containers of alcoholic beverages inside Kwilos’ car. Allison Kwilos was then taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence, open container violation, and implied consent violation.
