CADILLAC (WWJ) -- A Cadillac woman was arrested last week after authorities say she was caught driving drunk on the highway with an open bottle of liquor.
Just before 5:30 p.m. Friday, a trooper from the Michigan State Police Seventh District Hometown Security Team stopped a vehicle for trying to pass multiple vehicles in the turn lane on M-115 near M-55 in Cadillac.
MSP said the driver, identified as 53-year-old Kelly Marie Fullerton, "displayed signs of intoxication" and did not have a valid driver's license.
The trooper also found a cloth bag containing a half-empty bottle of rum on the passenger side floorboard.
Sobriety tests were administered, and Fullerton was taken into custody.
