A Casey County woman was arrested for DUI Tuesday afternoon.

Casey County Deputy Tyler Luttrell stopped a four-door silver vehicle with expired tags on East Yosemite Road. The driver, Melissa A. Pruitt, 50, of Yosemite, and her passenger, John Pruitt, appeared distressed. Melissa admitted the vehicle was her son's and had no insurance.

Noticing her pinpoint pupils, Deputy Luttrell asked Melissa to perform a field sobriety test. She initially refused a balance test but later admitted to using marijuana the previous night. Melissa showed signs of impairment during the test. A search of the vehicle revealed no additional substances.

The vehicle was towed, and Melissa was transported to Casey County Hospital, where she refused a blood test. She was then taken to Casey County Jail and charged with DUI-controlled substance, no insurance (2nd offense), and no registration plates/receipt.
