34-year-old Tamra Skylerse Phelps had a single-vehicle accident late May 4th. When officers arrived, they located her in the driver’s seat, crying and appearing to be very anxious. Officers noticed Phelps reeked of alcohol as she admitted to drinking Twisted Tea before driving. Officers observed a plastic bag with two large, empty Twisted Tea cans and a Styrofoam cup that had spilled on the passenger floor during the collision, which she stated had Twisted Tea in it. She consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and, after being informed of implied consent, agreed to provide a blood sample. Phelps was taken into custody for driving under the influence on May 5th.
