In Prescott, Arizona, a female driver by the name of Linda Majenty was arrested for driving under the influence on Highway 260 this weekend. According to reports, 25 year old Majenty was driving 100 miles per hour before she was stopped for suspicion of DUI. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office reports that Majenty is facing aggravated DUI charges and seven counts of endangerment for her behavior.
At this time, police say that Majenty is facing charges of extreme DUI, driving on a suspended license, criminal speeding and having an open container in a motor vehicle.
When deputies pulled Majenty over, they administered a breath alcohol test. Her result was .235 percent, which is almost three times Arizona's legal limit. They report that Majenty had passed several vehicles while speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road in a no passing zone.
Police were only able to stop Majenty after she nearly crashed into a parked vehicle near Camp Verde Jail. Once police approached her vehicle, they noticed that the car had a strong odor of alcohol. Alcohol could also be smelled on her breath. Majenty was asked to step out of her vehicle, but she could barely stand without assistance from police.
This is not the first time Majenty faced DUI charges. In 2007, she was charged with aggravated DUI.
