Oakdale Woman Faces DWI Charge; Children Were in the Car

Calishia Antionette Hobbs, 27, also faces a felony drug charge of possessing heroin and gross misdemeanor of refusing to submit a chemical test.

According to the criminal complaint:

Washington County deputies in Willernie were dispatched on a report of a suspected drunk driver who had driven up onto a home’s yard.

The caller told authorities a woman was driving the SUV, which also had a man and two small children inside, and the vehicle at one point headed into oncoming traffic.

A deputy found the SUV parked and saw a woman, later identified as Hobbs, walking away from the driver’s side of the vehicle.

She showed signs of intoxication, became agitated and initially refused to follow commands to stop.

Deputies advised her of her rights twice and she said she didn’t understand and began swearing at officers.

The two children in the vehicle were aged 6 and 4. The man who was with her told police she was driving and they had been at a bar.

During a search of her purse, police found bindles that field-tested positive for heroin.

Hobbs faces a felony drug charge, and gross misdemeanor counts of DWI and refusing to submit to a chemical test.
