A 34-year-old Kingston-area woman was charged with impaired driving early Wednesday after allegedly driving over a concrete curb and across a soccer field to get to a bar.

Kingston police were called to the city’s Invista Centre recreation complex at about 11 p.m. after receiving several calls from concerned witnesses.

At a nearby bar, police were able to identify the suspect’s vehicle parked sideways across two handicapped parking spots with clumps of grass jammed into the grill.

Inside, officers observed a woman suspected of being impaired and she was arrested.

At police HQ, the woman provided two breath samples and was found to have about 3.5 times the legal limit of alcohol in her system.

She was later released with a future court date. Her licence is automatically suspended for 90 days and she could face a one-year suspension if convicted. The vehicle was seized and impounded for seven days.
