FARGO (KFGO-AM) A Fargo woman was arrested for drunken driving early Friday after walking away from her wrecked late model Jaguar.
Police say Lauren Mahlke, 31, plowed into a parked car in Prairiewood. A license plate check led police to her home a few blocks away. However, attempts to locate her were delayed for several hours because her husband denied she was home. Sargent Shane Aberle says Mahlke eventually came out and was taken into custody. She was not injured. Mahlke's husband could also face a charge for hindering the investigation.
Police responded to a 9-1-1 call from someone who heard the crash shortly after 1 a.m.
