Md. woman arrested twice in 5 hours for DUI

[July 08, 2009]  OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) -- Police arrested a Woodbine, Md. woman twice in five hours on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Police said a 20-year-old woman was swerving across lane markers and failed to stop at a stop sign about 2:15 a.m. Friday. When officers stopped her, police said she was driving under the influence of alcohol.

She was released on DUI and motor vehicle charges, and almost five hours later, police saw her driving again.

Maryland law prohibits anyone from driving within 12 hours of a DUI arrest. Police stopped her again and charged her with DUI and other offenses. She was held on $25,000 bond.
