The caller advised a Tesla was tailgating her, weaving in and out of traffic, crossing the double yellow line, and running a stop sign.

The driver originally denied consuming alcohol before driving. She would later admit to consuming beverages of the alcoholic variety after deputies noticed the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath and the open bottle of vodka within the vehicle. After conducting field sobriety tests, she received handcuffs instead of a trick or a treat.

The driver was charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content above .2, drinking while driving, failure to maintain the lane of travel, and failure to obey a stop sign. She was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $2,500 secured bond.
