An allegedly drunk woman darted across a busy Athens road and attempted to address in front of an officer shortly after midnight Saturday.
No one was injured in the incident that happened about 12:30 a.m. on Broad Street near Jackson Street, Athens-Clarke County police Ms. Hilda Sorrow said.
Police charged Ms. Rosaland Cintron, 24, with pedestrian under the influence of alcohol after her brush with death about 12:30 a.m., Ms. Sorrow said.
A crowd of people were downtown when the woman darted across Broad Street, causing motorists to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting her, Ms. Sorrow said.
The woman’s friend tried, but was unsuccessful in stopping her from running across the street, Ms. Sorrow said.
An officer who saw the incident managed to catch the woman who smelled of alcohol and refused to answer questions.
Instead, the woman kept trying to undress, Ms. Sorrow said.
Ms. Cintron, of South Milledge Avenue, was arrested and transported to the Athens-Clarke County jail.
