— A woman who "did not appear to be dressed appropriately for the cold weather" drew police attention, leading officers to discover she had drunkenly crashed her car nearby, Bloomingdale police said.

Bloomingdale Patrol Officer Robert Grabowski and Sgt. Ronald Frost responded to a report about the woman around 4:17 a.m., Patrol Officer Daniel Fletcher said in a news release. The release was titled "DWI & Injured naked female."

Fletcher did not elaborate on the state of the woman's dress in the body of the news release beyond saying she wasn't dressed for the cold, and could not be reached for further comment this week.

Dorrie Kennedy, 48, told officers she was waiting for a ride from a friend, but, not far from her location, police found skid marks leading off the roadway, Fletcher said.

Police found a vehicle had left the roadway, struck a guard rail and crashed through a fence before ending up in a small ravine near the entrance to Star Lake Camp, he said.

Fletcher said Kennedy was the driver of the vehicle and she showed signs of intoxication. Kennedy was arrested and transported to headquarters for processing, he said.

While at headquarters, Kennedy had a medical issue that was unrelated to the accident, but required medical attention, Fletcher said.

Kennedy was transported to Chilton Hospital by Tri-Boro First Aid Squad, he said. Chilton paramedics also responded to police headquarters, he said.

Kennedy was charged with driving while intoxicated, failure to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving, prior to leaving the hospital, Fletcher said. Her vehicle was also impounded, he added.
