Alaska State Troopers on Saturday afternoon took multiple Report Every Dangerous Driver Immediately (REDDI) phone calls regarding a gray Hyundai Santa Fe.
The driver was described as driving varying speeds and crossing center and fog lines while heading southbound on the Sterling Highway starting at approximately mile 48 in the Cooper Landing area. One of the callers observed the driver sideswipe a guard rail in the area.
Alaska State Troopers responded and pulled the driver over at approximately mile 85 of the Sterling Highway in Sterling. An investigation revealed that 31-year-old Amy Mute of Anchorage, who was identified as the driver, was driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages.
Mute was transported to the Alaska State Trooper Post in Soldotna for Datamaster. While there, she allegedly refused to provide a breath sample, which she is legally required to do, according to the online state trooper dispatch.
Mute ultimately was charged with DUI and refusal to submit a chemical test. She was transported to Wildwood where she was remanded on these charges.
