SANTA ANA (CNS) - A 33-year-old woman was charged today with ramming multiple cars in a parking lot in Mission Viejo before a standoff with police on the Santa Ana (5) Freeway.

Aria Alexandra Martin was charged with five counts of assault with a deadly weapon and 13 counts of vandalism, all felonies, as well as single misdemeanor counts each of driving under the influence of a drug and resisting arrest.

Martin was accused of ramming multiple cars about 1:30 p.m. Thursday in a parking lot in Mission Viejo before leaving and then getting pulled over on the freeway south of Oso Parkway, according to Orange County sheriff's Sgt. Michael Woodroof.

When police tried to get her out of the car, she refused at first, but eventually complied, Woodroof said.
