ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- (WSOC) -- It was a move worthy of praise from the U.S. gymnastics team's “Final Five.” Instead, it vaulted a New Mexico woman into jail.
Police in Albuquerque said the woman, who was passed out in the driver's seat of her car on Friday night, did a series of cartwheels during a field sobriety test Friday, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
But the athletic moves did not convince the police officer that 23-year-old Bryelle N. Marshall was sober, and she was arrested on charges of aggravated drunken driving and battery, the Journal reported.
The officer wrote in the criminal complaint, which was filed in Metropolitan Court, that once outside the vehicle, Marshall had a hard time standing and was swaying from side to side. She also smelled like alcohol and had a hard time balancing, according to the complaint.
