She said she had been a victim of a hit-and-run accident and suffered a brain injury that mimicked the signs of alcohol impairment.
Ah, the classic brain injury gambit.
The deputy noted that her eyes were watery and bloodshot, she slurred when she spoke and that he could smell the “overwhelmingly strong odor of intoxicants on her breath.”

Sorry about wrong link, fixed now.
