A nighttime scene shows a police officer standing on a road next to a woman wearing a dark hoodie and light jeans. To the right, a dark-colored car is partially off the road, resting in tall grass. The area is dimly lit with some streetlights and vehicle headlights in the background.

A Jones County deputy arrested a woman early on March 27 after a caller reported a vehicle sitting in a ditch on New Clinton Road.

What’s Happening: Around 1 a.m., Deputy Albert Elliot responded to the scene. The caller reported the driver was out of the vehicle and possibly intoxicated.

What’s Confirmed: Deputy Elliot observed signs of impairment when he arrived. The driver, identified as 40-year-old Susan Willis, was given field sobriety tests — roadside exercises used by officers to check for impairment and then placed under arrest for DUI.

By the Numbers: Willis was taken to the Jones County Law Enforcement Center, where a blood sample was obtained. Blood tests can be used to measure the level of alcohol or other substances in a person’s system.
