A Carthage woman faces a felony property damage charge and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to yield the right of way and failure to stop charges following a collision September 19 at the intersection of W. Macon and S. Garrison in Carthage.
According to the probable cause statement, Jasmine S. McKinney (DOB 1977), ran a stop sign hitting another vehicle at 9:45 a.m. When Carthage police officers investigated, the first thing McKinney said was "I am a drunk," after which she asked the officers to take her license.
The probable cause statement indicated McKinney's blood alcohol content was 0.27, more than three times the legal limit.
Multiple witnesses told police they heard a loud noise and saw McKinney's vehicle backing away a dumpster on the 1500 block of Garrison. The owner of the dumpster said it would cost about $1,000 to repair the damage.
A warrant has been issued for McKinney's arrest with bond set at $5,000 cash or surety.
