TAR, FEATHERS: Sober driver arrested for DUI when deputy blows through stop sign, hits her.
Officers arrested Weyker and initially accused her of five charges, including drunk driving causing injury.
The deput[y’s] report stated he stopped at the sign and then pulled out into the street.
However, a surveillance camera showed his car rolling through the stop sign without stopping.
According to WITI, that didn’t stop the county from sending threatening letters saying it would take legal action if Weyker didn’t pay for the damages.
Months later, tests results showed Weyker was sober during the accident.
But . . . she still faced charges.
Prosecutors didn’t drop charges until the deputy gave statements contradicting his original story another five months later.
