A 33-year-old Sumter County motorist who allegedly struck an apartment complex blamed the accident on her dog and said it was the pooch that police should have arrested.

According to Wildwood police, witnesses said the woman left after hitting the building, then entered her Huey Street apartment.

Officers found Christina Anne Marie Lamoreaux of Wildwood, who admitted she was driving when her vehicle struck the building, but she blamed the crash on her dog.

She said police should arrest the dog and added that she drove away because she had planned to pay for the damage.

Police added Lamoreaux smalled of alcohol and appeared confused. When they tried to get her to take a sobriety test, she refused, became hostile and resisted officers’ attempts to arrest her.

Lamoreaux was charged with DUI, hit and run involving property damage and resisting arrest.

She was released from the Sumter County jail after posting a $2,500 bond.

I went out to an accident where a guy swerved to avoid a dog and he went 6' down a 100 foot drop and would have gone all the way downif it wasn't for the tree he hit.

over here, if you hit a dog with your car, you can claim for the damage from the owner's insurance
