Driver was 3x above alcohol limit

YOUNGSTOWN — The woman whose Cadillac ran into the rear end of an Austintown cruiser, severely injuring the police officer, was more than three times above the legal alcohol limit, city prosecutor said.

Adrien N. Foutz, 22, of Iowa Avenue, Girard, was video arraigned Tuesday in municipal court on a felony charge of aggravated vehicular assault. Judge Elizabeth A. Kobly set bond at $25,000 and a preliminary hearing for 10 a.m. Nov. 23.

The judge ordered that Foutz not drive. If Foutz drives, she will forfeit bond and remain in jail pending resolution of the charge against her.

City Prosecutor Jay Macejko said Foutz’s blood alcohol concentration, taken after the fiery crash on the Youngstown side of North Meridian Road at 1:06 a.m. Sunday, registered 0.279 on a portable Breathalyzer. The legal limit is 0.08.
