SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state police said they arrested a woman for two different drunken driving crashes in the same day during the past weekend.

Troopers from Somerset said Michele Leonard of Somerset crashed her car at about 5 p.m. Saturday.

She was arrested and charged with drunken driving before being released.

Police said that’s when Leonard offered a stranger $3 for a ride back to her crashed vehicle, which she entered and began driving again.

Authorities said Leonard again lost control of the car and sideswiped a parked car in Somerset Township at about 6 p.m., then crashed into a garage.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for Leonard, whose age was not released by police.
