After test results returned showing a woman who crashed an ATV in Worthington last summer was operating the ATV with a BAC of .128, a criminal case was filed and she’s being summoned to appear in court.

Chasandrea Hunter, 32, Worthington, is being summoned to appear in court in December as a result of an ongoing investigation by Deputy Marshal Heather Wood of the Worthington Police Department.

Hunter was the operator of an ATV involved in a crash back on July 6. Around 8 p.m. that day, Officer Wood and WPD Reserve Officer David Sparks were dispatched to a location on Terre Haute Road in Worthington for a crash with injuries. When they arrived on the scene, they found Hunter laying in the road screaming with an overturned ATV nearby.

Officer Wood said Hunter suffered extensive injuries to her head and face. Hunter allegedly admitted she was the only one on the ATV and no other vehicles were involved. Officer Wood reported she could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Hunter. Officer Wood also noted in her report that Hunter had red, glassy eyes, poor dexterity and her speech was slurred.

Hunter was transported to Greene County General Hospital by the Greene County Ambulance Service. Due to her injuries, no field sobriety tests were attempted and a breath test was not conducted.

Hunter’s boyfriend was on the scene and when Officer Wood talked to him, he allegedly said when he went to meet Hunter when she got off work at a bar, he noticed she had been drinking and told her she didn’t need to be driving. He told her he would drive her home and they would pick her car up later. Hunter was upset about that and once they got home, he heard the ATV start up and saw she had taken off on it. He allegedly said he got into his truck and followed her in an attempt to stop her from driving but when he got to Terre Haute Road, she had already crashed the ATV.

A search warrant was issued for a blood draw which was taken at the hospital. Results were pending but when they came back, the results showed she had a BAC of .128. The legal limit is .08.

After the officer’s report and the test results were submitted to the prosecutor’s office, a criminal case was filed against Hunter. On Tuesday, a summons was issued ordering Hunter to appear for an initial hearing on December 9.

Hunter is facing charges of:

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor, and
Operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to at least .08 but less than .15, a Class C misdemeanor.
