40-year-old Ronda Lee Martin, an employee at Gary J. Smith, M.D, was sitting in the Providence Boulevard Raceway parking lot around 2 a.m. on April 24th. Officers observed this and initiated a welfare check, during which she was sleeping in her driver’s seat. As officers shook her arm to wake her up, they noticed she reeked of alcohol and had an open beer can in the center console. Martin admitted to having one beer.
Officers asked Martin to provide her driver’s credentials, and she handed them her house key. She consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and after being informed of implied consent, agreed to provide a breath sample, which resulted in 0.187 BAC%. Martin was taken into custody for an open container violation and driving under the influence.
