When officers arrived, they observed that Armentrout was on the ground and had crashed into the right side guard rail. Once officers approached Armentrout, they reported that they immediately smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage. Armentrout stated that she was in pain and that she was having trouble breathing. She was then promptly escorted away from her smoking vehicle while medics were called to assist with her injuries.
While officers spoke with Armentrout, they reported that she was stumbling and refused to be taken to the hospital. Following this, Armentrout confessed that she had consumed a couple of drinks before she started driving, so officers prompted her with sobriety tests.
