A pedestrian was crossing the 1500 block of East 6th St. just before 1 a.m. Wednesday when a car with its headlights turned off struck him, according to a police arrest affidavit.

The impact forced the pedestrian onto the hood of the car and into the windshield, causing it to break, the affidavit said.

The driver did not stop the vehicle to check on the pedestrian and fled the scene, police said in the affidavit.

Police tracked down Elliott at her address after a witness on his bicycle provided a description matching Elliott, the vehicle and the car's license plate number, the affidavit said.

Elliott was sitting in the vehicle with the engine running when police arrived, police said.

A detective observed small pieces of glass from the broken windshield were inside the car, according to police.

Elliott refused to discuss the incident and to submit to field alcohol tests, police said in the affidavit.

The detective noticed that Elliott's breath smelled strongly of alcohol and her eyes were bloodshot and glassy, the affidavit said. She also had stuttered speech and swayed while walking, according to police.

The 24-year-old was previously convicted in May 2011 on a driving while intoxicated charge, according to the affidavit.
