COLLINSVILLE, IL – Two arrested for driving under the influence after driving to State Police headquarters.
On May 5, 2011, at approximately 8:15 a.m., Illinois State District 11 call takers received a call regarding a dispute between two motorists. The reporting motorist drove to Illinois State Police headquarters to seek assistance and the other motorist followed. State Troopers were waiting in the parking lot to speak to the drivers of each vehicle. After talking to the drivers of each vehicle it was determined that they had been out all night drinking and they were both under the influence of alcohol.
Arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol were a 25 year old female, Carrie Beth Banfield, of South Roxana and a 23 year old female, Delsislava K. Jeliazkova, of Edwardsville.
District 11 Commander, Captain Brad Parsons, said "We prefer that people stay off the roads all together after drinking too much. But if you decide you don't want to stay off the roads, our second choice would be for you to drive to our headquarters and turn yourself in."
