— An 18 year-old Dayton woman was arrested early Saturday morning at 2:33 a.m. in the area of U.S. Highway 50 East and Airport Road for misdemeanor first-offense driving under the influence (DUI) alcohol as well as for misdemeanor minor consumption of alcohol, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.

When asked if she had been drinking, the driver admitted to having consumed one hard lemonade, the report said.

She was hesitant to participate in standard field sobriety tests (SFSTs) because she didn't want to get in trouble and was afraid she'd fail the tests, the report said.
