Police: Madison woman drove impaired, had pills in vehicle

(NORTH VERNON, Ind.) – A Madison woman is accused of impaired driving and later providing breath samples that were more than double the legal limit. 

North Vernon police located a vehicle they said was driving recklessly near Muscatatuck Park on Saturday. 

“Officer Jessiah Watts observed it swerving between lanes, accelerating erratically, and nearly colliding with another vehicle,” police said.

A traffic stop was conducted on North State Street and police say 28-year-old Cassondra Lockridge showed signs of impairment. 

“During the investigation, Lockridge admitted to consuming prescription medication prior to driving,” police said. 

Police say they found Xanax pills during a search of the vehicle. Lockridge later provided a breath test which allegedly resulted in 0.194 BrAC. 

Lockridge was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Jennings County Jail.
