MONDAY

* Park Avenue: Police arrested a 19-year-old under suspicion of

drunken driving after she hit a drainage ditch and rolled her 1989

GMC Jimmy over while driving uphill on Park Avenue at about 1 a.m.

The reporting party didn’t witness the accident, but called police

after seeing the car lying on its passenger side with the lights on

and the driver screaming for help. Her blood alcohol level indicated

that she was “extremely intoxicated,” Sgt. Jason Kravetz said. “I

don’t know how she managed to flip over going uphill on that steep of

a grade.”
