A woman was arrested early Wednesday morning in Austin after police said she was driving with a blood alcohol content level more than four times the legal limit.

The woman, 27-year-old Erin Flanigan, had a blood alcohol content level of .358 and was found with less than a gram of cocaine in her car, according to an arrest affidavit.

Before the arrest, around 1:43 a.m., Austin police followed Flanigan to notify her that her trunk was open.

She then accelerated to 20 miles over the speed limit and began driving partially in the bike lane in downtown Austin, according to the report.

When officers asked how much she had to drink, Flanigan replied, “a little,” but when asked how much “a little” was, she said “a lot,” the report said.

Police charged Flanigan with driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.

Her bail was set at $2,000, and inmate records from the Travis County Jail show she is not in custody.
