It is further alleged that she was driving with a suspended license and a blood alcohol content greater than .18 percent, more than double the legal limit.

Muniz was arrested at the scene and charged with driving while intoxicated, aggravated driving while intoxicated with a BAC greater than .18 percent, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. 

She was also cited for having an open container and driving on the shoulder, traffic infractions.
