A Clifton Springs woman has been arrested months after allegedly fleeing from deputies while intoxicated, assaulting a person, and causing a crash that injured a passenger.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office reported the arrest of 18-year-old Leah M. Stubbings on February 14, following an investigation into an August 2 incident in the Town of Sodus. Deputies responded to a 911 open-line call on Quarry Road, where they allege Stubbings had assaulted an individual with a blunt object before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
When deputies attempted to stop her vehicle, Stubbings reportedly refused to comply, leading to a pursuit that ended in a crash. A passenger in her vehicle sustained injuries. Deputies detected the smell of alcohol and marijuana on Stubbings and conducted field sobriety tests, which she failed. She was then taken to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, where she submitted to a chemical blood test.
Stubbings faces multiple charges, including operating a motor vehicle while ability impaired by drugs or alcohol, reckless endangerment in the second degree, unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, and assault in the third degree, along with several vehicle and traffic violations.
After her arrest, Stubbings was processed at the Wayne County Jail and released. She is scheduled to appear in court on March 12.
