An investigation into a single-vehicle, property damage accident Saturday in Adair, resulted in the arrest of a woman on alcohol charges. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office says 26-year old Libby Nicole Embree, of Adair, left the scene of the crash near Hillcrest and 2nd Streets. When authorities tracked her down, she admitted to consuming alcohol and operating a motor vehicle before the accident. A Preliminary Breath Test determined her level of intoxication at 0.175, or a little more than twice the legal limit.

Embree was arrested for OWI/1st offense, Failure to Maintain Control, and Leaving the Scene of an accident. She was later released on a $1,000 cash bond or surety.
