A woman has been arrested in Oklahoma after being caught drunk at the wheel of her car with a cocktail in the cup-holder and a front tyre missing.

The damaged vehicle could be heard “from a block away”, according to police.

It was apparently the noise of the metal wheel grinding along the road that first alerted police to a potential incident.

According to officers from Tulsa Police Department, they were able to hear 28-year-old Amy Ann Dillon’s approach from the cacophony, which grew in volume until she drove the damaged vehicle past them. They pulled her over and asked her how much she’d had to drink.

She admitted she’d had “two tequila shots”, though officers said she told them this while “she could barely stand upright”.

The sport involves two competitors matched in class according to age and weight who sit at a specifically-designed table across from one another and pull at a small leather band with one finger until one player has pulled the other across. The sport is traditional in Bavaria and Austria. The 10 countries that drink the most alcohol 8.

The occasion reflects the trauma of World War II in which millions of Soviet citizens died before driving back the Nazis, but also a large measure of Soviet-style propaganda which airbrushed dark aspects of the story -- not least Stalin's massive wartime repressions.

They also found a full margarita in her car’s cup-holder.

The police breathalysed her and took a reading for blood alcohol concentration of 0.21 per cent. A BAC reading of 0.08 per cent or higher is illegal in the US.

“She did not do well on her SFST (standardised field sobriety test),” the arresting officer wrote on Facebook.

Police said they believe she had “wrecked her car on something” prior to the arrest and “assume she was driving on [the metal rim] for some time,” because somebody had called the police in relation to the vehicle 15 minutes before the arrest but they’d been unable to locate it.

She was taken to David L Moss Criminal Justice Centre in Tulsa, where she smiled for her mugshot.

She faces charges for DUI (driving under the influence), operating a motorised vehicle with defective tyres, transport of an open container, and driving without a license in her possession.

“She also could be facing hit and run charges if it [is] discovered what she hit,” police said.
