A Gaylesville, Alabama woman was arrested on driving under the influence of alcohol charges last week, according to a report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.

On Wednesday morning of last week, shortly after 1 AM, a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy observed a vehicle speeding on Highway 27 near Washington Street in Summerville.  The deputy initiated a traffic stop and pulled the vehicle over at Pan-N-Tote on Highway 114, the Lyerly Highway.

The officer observed the driver, identified as thirty-eight-year-old Lauren Kellet of Gayelsville, Alabama, and determined that she could be under the influence.  The officer said that Kellet’s speech was slurred and he couldn’t understand what she was saying.  According to the deputy, a strong odor of alcohol was coming from the vehicle.

The deputy found several open containers of alcohol in the vehicle, including a bottle of vodka.

Kellet was arrested and charged with DUI and was booked into the Chattooga County Jail.
