A 22-year-old woman in Dallas is facing a charge of Driving While Intoxicated after pulling up behind deputies with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office as they helped other motorists along Interstate-30, near Loop 12.

  Per CBS 11 News, the deputies said that the car, which Dallas police describe as a gold-colored Honda, drove behind their patrol vehicles, towards the right side, and stopped. Two deputies went to the car, and on seeing the driver, she said that she pulled over on that spot, thinking something was wrong with her car wheels.
