A 19-year-old Carson City woman was arrested early Saturday in the 3100 block of S. Edmonds Drive for suspicion of felony hit and run causing injury, driving under the influence first offense and minor consuming alcohol, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

Amanda Beasley was allegedly driving the vehicle, and carrying a female passenger which was involved in an injury accident in the area of S. Edmonds Drive and Sinbad Street, before leaving the accident scene on foot, the arrest report states.

Upon arrival to the accident scene, a Carson City Sheriff’s Office deputy made contact with the female passenger who was still inside the vehicle. The female said she had pain in her arm and shoulder, was crying hysterically and unable to exit the car. She was transported to Carson Tahoe Hospital, the deputy said.

A deputy then spoke with a male witness who stated he knew the two females involved in the accident, and that the three of them were together in Reno previously that morning. He said he was the designated driver for the group and had previously driven them from Reno to his home in Carson City when Beasley assured him she was ok to drive and left his house in the vehicle later found at the scene of the accident, the arrest report states.

Dispatch then advised the deputy on scene they had received a call from a resident nearby claiming Beasley was at their residence. The resident said Beasley thought it was her house and was banging on the door crying, the arrest report states.

A CCSO deputy responded and upon contact with Beasley, he could smell a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her person and had slurred speech.

According to the arrest report, a deputy asked Beasley what happened and she stated she was home trying to go to bed. She said she had gone to Reno with her friends, but knew nothing of the vehicle crash, the arrest report states.

The deputy said he advised Beasley that he had spoken with the male witness and the female passenger and asked her to be honest about what happened. She said she was not involved in an accident and had no idea that one had occurred, the report states.

Beasley provided a preliminary breath test which read 0.192 percent BAC. A warrant request was granted and a blood draw was conducted at Carson Tahoe Hospital. She was arrested at 4:14 a.m.

The passenger made a statement while at the hospital and said she did not remember the crash, but said Beasley was driving the car prior to the crash and that when she woke up Beasley was gone and the vehicle was crashed into a fence. She provided a preliminary breath test of .126 and was cited for minor consuming alcohol, the arrest report states. Total bail for the suspect: $41,379.
