Drunk woman speeds in front of jail, arrested

YAVAPAI COUNTY, Ariz. - The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says a woman was arrested after a deputy saw her driving 100 MPH in front of the Camp Verde Jail, with a blood alcohol level of .235.

On July 31, around 6:30 a.m., a deputy saw her driving on Highway 260 going about 100 MPH through a construction zone area.

As deputies tried to catch up to her, they saw her drive pass numerous vehicles on the wrong side of the roadway, in a no passing zone. Deputies also said the lanes were congested and reduced in size and speed due to construction work, making her actions even more dangerous.

She finally came to a stop near the Camp Verde Jail and Deputies immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. When they told her to get out of the car she could not stand without assistance and mumbled comments about the situation while sporadically falling asleep.

She was identified as 25-year-old Linda Majenty from Fredonia, Arizona. When deputies did a driver's license check, they discovered her license was suspended for an aggravated DUI in 2007.

Majenty was arrested and transported to the nearby jail for booking. When deputies conducted a breath alcohol concentration test, her results read .235, which is three times the legal limit.

She is being charge with Aggravated DUI, seven counts of Endangerment, Extreme DUI, Driving on a Suspended License, Criminal Speeding and having an Open Container in a Vehicle.
