Galesburg Police last Tuesday responded to a 911 hang-up in the 2000 block of East Knox Street where upon arrival, officers located the caller who was intoxicated and passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle. Officers were eventually able to wake the 25-year-old woman who was very uncooperative with police. The woman refused to exit the vehicle and at one point, flipped off officers, put sunglasses on, turned the radio up, and laid back down. After police eventually gained entry, the woman still refused to exit the vehicle and was eventually pulled from the vehicle and detained. An open container of alcohol and a baggie containing cannabis was located inside the vehicle. At the public safety building, the woman refused to conduct a field sobriety test or submit a breath sample. The woman was transported to the Knox County Jail and charged with Driving Under the Influence, Resisting a Peace Officer and Possession of Adult-Use Cannabis.
