One Tallassee woman is alleged to have crashed into a Third Street home while driving under the influence of controlled substances.
Tallassee police officers pursued a vehicle Sunday afternoon they thought was driven by an impaired driver, but the driver didn’t immediately pull over.
“She drove through fences on Riverside Avenue,” Tallassee police chief Todd Buce said. “She then ran into the rear bedroom of a home on Third Street.”
Buce said luckily no one was injured in the incident.
“The house was occupied but there was no one in the area of the bedroom at the time,” Buce said.
Law enforcement took Morgan Rich, 28, of Tallassee, into custody. She was taken to the Elmore County Jail and charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and disorderly conduct.
As of Monday morning, no bond had been set for Rich’s release.
