She was placed under arrest on suspicion of DUI and several additional charges, which include endangerment and aggravated assault. There are still some questions waiting to be resolved.

Sgt. McClimans, a spokesperson with the Chandler Police Department, told reporters that the incident is still currently under investigation.
