Newark woman had BAC twice the legal limit during incident

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Laura S. Wells, 55, of Newark, on charges of driving while intoxicated and driving with a BAC of .08% or more.


The arrest came after a concerned citizen reported seeing an apparently intoxicated Wells attempting to enter a vehicle.

A subsequent investigation confirmed her intoxicated state, and a chemical test at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office revealed a BAC of .17%, more than double the legal limit.

Wells has been released with appearance tickets and is scheduled to face her charges in the Town of Lyons Court on September 19.
