31-year-old Karlie Tankersley had a single-vehicle accident on Burkitt Road on April 17th. When officers arrived, they located Tankersley, who was taken to the ambulance but refused to be transported to the emergency room. She stated she had a glass of wine about an hour before driving, so she was asked to take sobriety tests, which she consented to and performed poorly. Officers deemed her too impaired to drive her vehicle, and she was detained. When she was handed over to DCSO, a search located six and a half white Xanax pills in the back of her wallet. Tankersley was taken into custody for an implied consent violation, driving under the influence, and contraband in a penal institution.
