A woman suspected of drunk driving pulled herself over on Milan Road after mistaking the flashing Skate World sign for police lights.
While pulling to the side of the road, however, the woman lodged her black Dodge Avenger into a snow bank near the sign.
A passerby stopped to see if the woman needed help and called police after noticing she seemed intoxicated, according to a Perkins Township police report.
The woman told the passerby she thought the flashing lights from Skate World's sign were police lights, police said.
When officers did arrive, they found Nicole Scott, 27, of the 1100 block McKinley St., sitting alone in her car.
She denied being the driver of the vehicle and said her friend Ray had been driving, but he ran off.
Scott refused a sobriety test because she insisted she was not the driver. She proceeded to tell police her friend Samantha had been driving, and later that her friend Courtney had been driving. Finally she said her friend Brittany had been driving, according to police.
Police found a half-full bottle of Michelob Ultra in the car and only one set of footprints near the vehicle. Scott had trouble walking when she exited the vehicle and had to be helped to a waiting police cruiser, the report said.
Police took Scott to the Erie County Jail on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence and having an open container. A tow company hauled her car from the scene.
