COLUMBUS, Ind. – A Columbus woman was arrested for a DUI when the Columbus Police Department (CPD) stopped her car early Friday morning after they reportedly saw it cross the center line on 25th Street nearly striking a curb at Hawcreek Boulevard. The suspect had an infant child riding in the vehicle.
Officers say that they noticed a strong odor of marijuana while speaking with the driver, Lilly Hall, 19, of Columbus. Police say she failed several field sobriety tests that were administered to her. Also, while searching her vehicle, CPD allegedly found marijuana inside a jacket, a THC vape pen, and more marijuana inside a diaper bag in the back seat.
The woman was transported to Columbus Regional Health for a blood draw, and she was later taken into custody. The Department of Child Services placed the 13-month-old child in the care of a family member.
Hall faces preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a minor present, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana.
