A Summerville woman was arrested on charges of Driving Under the Influence after officers responded to a vehicle partially lodged in a ditch near Circle K on February 10, 2026, according to a Summerville Police Department incident report.

The report states officers observed a white Mitsubishi Outlander positioned halfway into a ditch on Given Street, with the rear end stuck and the front end off the roadway. The driver, identified as Miranda Danielle Marks, 42, of Lyerly, was seated in the vehicle when officers made contact.

According to the report narrative, Marks initially told officers she had consumed alcohol two days prior but later admitted to drinking approximately two hours before the encounter. Officers noted the odor of alcohol, slurred speech, red and watery eyes, and difficulty maintaining balance.

A Standardized Field Sobriety Test was administered, including the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), Walk-and-Turn, and One-Leg Stand tests. The report indicates Marks showed multiple signs of impairment during testing and refused a preliminary breath test.

Marks was placed under arrest for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident.
