A recent occurrence in Harris County has once again brought the issue of multiple driving while drunk offenses to the forefront. On February 28, Alexandra Martinez was involved in a minor two-car collision in the 26000 block of Cypresswood Drive. When deputies arrived, they discovered indicators that Martinez was inebriated.
Martinez, who had previously been convicted of driving while intoxicated, faced extra scrutiny at the scene. Despite the modest nature of the accident, the circumstances prompted the execution of a blood warrant for Martinez, confirming the suspicion of intoxication.
According to a statement from Constable Mark Herman’s Office, “Alexandra Martinez was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with her second offense of driving while intoxicated.” Martinez’s newest legal troubles may indicate a worrisome pattern of behavior that endangers others on the road.
