The 48-year-old Woodbridge woman is facing her fourth DUI charge in the past several years after an ill-fated trip down I-95 that ended with her arrest on Friday night.
Shortly before midnight on Oct. 25, deputies received a complaint about a possibly drunk driver who was swerving around traffic and struck two vehicles in the southbound lanes of the interstate before getting off at exit 140 toward Wonder Road, where she was ultimately stopped.
Investigators say that Herrera Argueta "had signs of intoxication, including glassy, bloodshot eyes and the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath."
She also claimed that her cousin was the driver; however, there was no cousin in the car.
Herrera Argueta proceeded to fail Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was detained and taken to the sheriff's office for a blood draw, though she resisted and rolled around on the floor in an effort to delay the procedure.
She was then taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Herrera Argueta was charged with:
- Driving under the influence fourth offense within ten years;
- Second offense refusal;
- Obstruction of justice;
- Driving after forfeiture of her license;
- Driving while revoked.
She's being held without bond.
