Breanna Dawn Hernandez, 32, called emergency services on August 16 to say she was following an intoxicated driver in Woods Cross.
When police asked her to provide the license plate of the driver she was apparently tracking, she gave the details of her own.
“The call-taker stated Breanna sounded intoxicated, was burping, and laughing uncontrollably on the phone,” according to court documents seen by Fox 13.
Officers later located Hernandez in the driver’s seat of her vehicle. The 32-year-old then attempted to run away when she saw the officers approaching and had to be restrained.
According to a probable cause statement, the officers “could smell the odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her person,” while they were restraining her.
Police found a near empty bottle of Fireball whiskey in the driver’s cup holder of Hernandez’s vehicle.
Medical staff were called to the scene to assess the 32-year-old due to her level of intoxication, reports ABC 4 News.
Hernandez continued to resist while being transported to Lakeview Hospital. She was eventually sedated after she fought police and medical staff while at the hospital.
When she eventually woke up, Hernandez called the police dispatch center once more to inform them she was “ready to go to jail and do her time,” according to the probable cause statement.
She was then transported to the Davis County Jail without further incident.
Hernandez was found guilty of driving under the influence and open container/drinking alcohol in a vehicle.
She was sentenced to 12 days in jail, fined $1,260 and faces 12 months of probation.
According to ABC 4 News, Hernandez has previously been arrested on suspicion of drug possession, possession of burglary tools and criminal trespassing.
Last month, a Utah woman was arrested for allegedly trying to convince police that she was her own 21-year-old daughter after being pulled over.
Heather Garcia, 38, was stopped by Davis County Police in a silver BMW in the early hours of August 31. During a search of her vehicle, officers located a “white powdery substance.”
When officers tried to get Garcia’s information from her, she told police her name was Mercedes and she was born in 1998. Police eventually discovered that Garcia had in fact given her daughter’s details.
When a positive ID was eventually made, Garcia was found to have outstanding warrants againt her. She was arrested on suspicion of drug possession, driving with a revoked license, and offering false personal information to a police officer.
