Bride arrested, accused of DUI while driving to her wedding
A bride was en route to her wedding Monday morning when she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in southern Arizona.
Marana police said 32-year-old Amber Young triggered a three-car collision that sent someone to a hospital at 10:30 a.m. suffering from minor injuries.
An officer suspected Young, who was wearing a white, floor-length dress, was impaired. She was handcuffed and taken to a police station.
The bride submitted to a blood test and signed a criminal citation for DUI before she was released to her fiance, according to Sgt. Chriswell Scott of the Marana Police Department.
“This could’ve turned out way worse than it did,” Scott said. “It’s supposed to be the happiest day of her life, and this just goes out as a reminder as to why you should never drive while impaired.”
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Young made it to her wedding on time.
