Kelly Lee Edwards, 29, was arraigned on charges of resisting arrest, driving under the influence and driving the wrong way. She was released on $5,000 unsecured bail.

An officer on patrol said he spotted Edwards’ car turn the wrong way on Fourth Avenue and when he found the vehicle a short time later, it was parked in front of a home.

The defendant was still seated inside and told police that she was “waiting for my ride,” according to court documents. She admitted having consumed alcohol and was arrested for suspicion of DUI.

Edwards is accused of struggling with police as they tried to take her into custody. At the station, documents said, she was “argumentative and uncooperative.”

She refused to take a breath test after failing two sobriety tests. She subsequently stood up and tried to leave before being forced to the wall and handcuffed.
