Miami County woman charged with driving over three times legal limit with young child in car

A Peru woman was arrested for driving intoxicated with a young child in the car.

Just before 9:30 p.m. Saturday, an Indiana State Trooper responded to the area of US 31 and Blair Pike in an attempt to locate a vehicle that had struck a utility pole and left the scene. A short time later, the trooper located and stopped the 2017 KIA, near US 31 and Miami CR 100 N.

The driver was identified as Courtney Blow, 29, of Peru. A three-year-old child was in the backseat. Indiana State Police say Blow displayed signs of impairment, failed field sobriety tests, and had a preliminary BrAC of .263%.

The trooper transported Blow to a local hospital for a certified test. The results of that test are pending. Blow was then transported to the Miami County Jail.

The Department of Child Services was contacted, and the child was released to a family member.

Blow faces the following charges:

Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-with a Passenger Less than 18-yrs of age—Level 6 Felony

Neglect of a Dependent—Level 6 Felony

Leaving the Scene of a Crash—Class B Misdemeanor
