A thirty-four-year-old Chattooga County woman was arrested last week after she was found driving under the influence. A deputy was called to a residence on Packer Dairy Road early last Saturday after a 911 dispatcher alerted the sheriff’s office about a domestic incident. When the responding deputy arrived on the scene, and spoke with Jasimen Monique Reed she told the deputy that she and her husband had been arguing that morning. A report from the sheriff’s office stated that the domestic incident was “fueled by alcohol”. The deputy left the Packer Dairy Road residence and was sitting stationary at Gore Fire Hall just minutes after leaving the scene of the domestic incident. The deputy noticed that it was Reed driving the vehicle and knew that she was highly intoxicated. Reed was arrested and charged with DUI for alcohol and was booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
