Drunken driving
A 44-year-old Brecksville woman was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated following a traffic stop on Interstate 77 at around 6 p.m. May 31.
Police had received several calls of a possible drunken driver. One motorist told police that her erratic driving was captured on video from his cell phone.
