Parker Police

WOMAN ARRESTED IN HIT-AND-RUN, DUI
A 31-year-old Pueblo woman was arrested for hit-and-run and DUI on April 21. The woman allegedly was driving at 10:50 p.m. on the 8700 block of Apache Plume Drive when she hit a maroon sedan pulling into a driveway. The woman, however, kept driving until she was eventually found parked in the parking lot of King Soopers, 17031 E. Lincoln Ave. The woman, who appeared drunk, stated she only felt a bump when she hit the car and didn't notice because she was eating something. She later failed a roadside sobriety test and was taken to jail.

'DIZZY' MAN ARRESTED FOR DUI
A 38-year-old Parker man was arrested April 16 for driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs. The man was seen at 7:30 p.m. in Wolf Camera, 9821 Parker Road, stumbling around. He then left the store and got into his car and drove around the parking lot slowly. He was pulled over at the intersection of Parker Road and Plaza Drive and was taken to jail on suspicion of driving under the influence and careless driving. The man, who repeatedly said he was dizzy, was believed to be under the influence of prescription drugs.

EAR DISORDER EXCUSE DOESN'T FLY
A 32-year-old Parker woman attempted to get out of a DUI on April 20 by claiming an ear disorder affected her voluntary roadside sobriety test. The woman, who was pulled over at 2:22 a.m. for failing to stop at a stoplight at Pine Drive and Mainstreet, said the ear disorder affected her equilibrium during the balance tests. Still, the woman did not pass the test and she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

TEENS ACCUSED OF SETTING OFF BOMBS

When deputies arrived on scene, they located several juveniles who had been setting off acid bombs.
