The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office charged a Granby woman with felony driving while intoxicated after she was pulled over by the Carthage Police Department Sunday while allegedly under the influence of drugs.
The Carthage Police Department and Highway Patrol were alerted that a suspected drunk driver had been at Pete's Convenience Store in Carthage where she nearly backed into the gas pumps and climbed out of her Jeep without putting it in park.
Tammy L. Sifferman, 51, Granby, was stopped after swerving in and out of her lane on Garrison Avenue. A Highway Patrol trooper who was called in for backup wrote in the probable cause statement that Sifferman said she had been released from the hospital earlier that day and said she had taken one Valium and one Tylenol.
Sifferman has four previous DWI convictions. She was arrested by the Highway Patrol on December 20, 2010 and February 20, 2011 and was found guilty on both charges July 26, 2011 in Jasper County Circuit Court.
The Highway Patrol arrested Sifferman March 8, 2012 and was found guilty September 14, 2012 in Jasper County Circuit Court and the Newton County Sheriff's Office arrested her December 7, 2019 and she was found guilty in Newton County Circuit Court October 20, 2021.
Newton County Circuit Court records indicate Judge John LePage sentenced Sifferman to four years in prison for her fourth DWI and suspended the sentence, placing her on supervised probation for five years.
Conditions of her probation include staying away from alcohol and any location where alcohol is sold to be consumed on the premises, not possessing or using any controlled substance that is not prescribed for her by a doctor and successfully completing a court-ordered program.
Judge LePage restored Sifferman's driving privileges December 19, 2022, according to Newton County Circuit Court records.
Under LePage's order, Sifferman was required to have an ignition interlock device installed. The probable cause statement for Sunday's arrest indicates the vehicle she was driving had an ignition interlock.

Why are these - Individuals with 3+, 4+, and 5+ DWI's - still allowed to Drive - - they are a nuisance and Danger to Society and yet our Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys, and Jurors, keep letting them - back behind the wheel - and what Insurance Companies are allowing them to get any type of Coverage - - and if they have No Coverage - they should be Charged Additionally with that Crime.
We have to Elect Politicians, Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys, and Appoint Jurors - Who are Tough on Crime -
These Individuals have been given Multiple Times to Get their Lives together - - Yet here they are again - How many Times have they been Driving Drunk and were not Caught - How many Times have they almost Killed themselves, their Passengers, or Others as they Drove Drunk?
Live is to Precious - To Allow these Individuals to Drive Drunk - to Possible Kill You, Your Family, or Your Friends or Bystanders.
Stop giving them a Slap on the Wrist - Stop giving them Probation - Stop giving them a Get-Out-Of-Jail Free Card - - It is Time to Put these Criminals Behind Bars - Before someone is Killed and their Family has to Mourn another Lost Life...
Stop Feeling Sorry for the Criminals and Start Feeling Sorry for the Victims.
