She allegedly stated she had four beers and had been in an accident. She failed field sobriety tests and was told she was under arrest. Pletcher reportedly began to resist arrest and attempted to avoid being handcuffed by pulling her arms away and yelling “I’m not under arrest.” As she was brought toward the patrol car, Pletcher allegedly began to passively resist, going limp. At the police station, she began to resist arrest again and was physically restrained. According to reports, she registered 0.13 on a breath test. Pletcher was also charged with resisting arrest, operation of a motor vehicle by an unlicensed driver and leaving the scene of an accident.
