Wrong-way DUI driver almost hits patrol cars

Posted
A Texas woman, who allegedly drove from Deason to Shelbyville on the wrong side of Highway 231 North, almost struck two Shelbyville Police Department patrol cars before being arrested for DUI Thursday night,
Officer Samuel Campbell, one of several alerted to and searching for the incoming vehicle, said he was forced to swerve to miss Waldron. A patrol car driven by Officer Darrian Lanier was also almost struck. The officers did have blue lights on, Campbell said.
Alex Maeghan Wauldron, 26, of Sachse, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, told police she’d consumed “two or three beers” and didn’t know where she was coming from or going. Waldron told officers she thought she was in Nashville.
Campbell’s report said Wauldron failed a field sobriety test. She was charged with DUI, open container, and driving left of center, and held on $5,500 bond.
