Deputies responded to Rt. 63 in Alabama, just south of the Genesee/Orleans county line, on August 22, 2019 at about 9:53a.m. for the report of two subjects yelling at each other.
Upon arrival, deputies identified both subjects and interviewed them.
One of the subjects, Susan L. Murray, no age or address provided, was found to have an active bench warrant out of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office.
Murray was taken into custody on the warrant.
During a search of Murray, she was found to allegedly possess four different kinds of controlled substances.
Further investigation revealed that Murray operated a motor vehicle on a public highway while allegedly under the influence of drugs. Following field sobriety tests, she was arrested for DWAI/drugs.
A license check found that Murray was allegedly operating the motor vehicle with a suspended driver’s license.
After interviewing the victim, it is alleged that Murray forcibly took property from the victim, her cell phone and money, through force and unwanted physical contact and prevented the victim from contacting emergency services for assistance.
