A Chattooga County woman was arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI)  following a near-miss incident at a license and safety checkpoint. According to reports from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred at approximately 11:31 PM on March 8th at the intersection of West Spring Creek Road and the Baptist Church. Deputies were conducting the checkpoint when a blue vehicle, driven by Lacy Adele Trammell, allegedly nearly struck Deputy Garmany due to delayed braking. Trammell was directed to pull into the nearby church parking lot. Upon approaching the vehicle, deputies detected a strong odor of alcohol. Trammell reportedly admitted to consuming four beers since 5:30 PM in celebration of her birthday. An attempt to administer a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) was unsuccessful. Trammell was subsequently placed under arrest for DUI/Alcohol and informed of her Implied Consent rights. She refused a blood draw. Lacy Adele Trammell was then transported to the Chattooga County Jail and charged with DUI and other related infractions.
