A Bainbridge Island woman was charged with driving under the influence after a trooper with the Washington State Patrol allegedly saw a large, cold can of Budweiser beer in her cup holder as she was waiting in line for the Kingston ferry.

The incident occurred just after 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 6 at the Kingston Ferry Terminal.

The state trooper was conducting vehicle checks with his K9 partner when he passed the 45-year-old Bainbridge woman’s car.

As the trooper walked past, he saw the can of beer and saw it had “sweat” beads from being cold but exposed to a warm environment, and had been opened.

When he asked the woman for her identification, he noticed the driver had bloodshot and watery eyes.

A driver’s check revealed the woman had a third-degree suspended license and was also required to have an ignition interlock device.

The woman’s vehicle, however, did not have an ignition interlock device.

The driver failed initial roadside sobriety tests, and was arrested for DUI. She declined to take a breath test.

The woman’s vehicle was impounded and she was taken to Kitsap County Jail. An officer said there was “an overwhelming odor of intoxicants” coming from the woman, and she told police that she had been at the Kingston terminal waiting for a ferry to take her from Bainbridge Island to Bellingham.

After speaking to a public defender, the woman agreed to take a breath test. Two samples revealed results of .132 and .140, respectively.

The woman — who had been arrested for DUI after a collision in Suquamish in June 2016 — told police she hadn’t had a drink since July 2016, but her family had been in town for the weekend for a birthday and they were “just having a good time.”

She also said her daughter usually drives her places, but she was driving that day because she had to get to work.

The woman was charged in Kitsap County District Court with DUI, driving without an interlock device, and third-degree driving with a suspended license.
