Cops: Woman found driving with tree stuck in hood
1 A woman was charged with driving under the influence in January in northwest suburban Roselle after she was pulled over with a tree trunk stuck in the hood of her car.
The woman was pulled over around 11: 10 p. m. Jan. 23 on Central Avenue after police received a call about a vehicle driving with a tree embedded in the grille, according to Roselle Deputy Chief Roman Tarchala. She was charged with driving under the influence after failing a field sobriety test.
The woman told police that she struck the tree somewhere in Schaumburg, Tarchala said. “I’ve been in law enforcement for 28 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Tarchala said.
