Deputies said they encountered the woman during a welfare check involving a suspected disabled 2023 Ford Bronco on State Route 12. The sheriff’s office said she appeared impaired, failed standardized field sobriety tests and later registered a blood alcohol content of 0.14% at the Lewis County Public Safety Building. She was arraigned at Town of Lowville CAP Court and released on her own recognizance.
