Woman Who Drove on Wrong Side of Road to be Charged with DUI

Police said the woman had a .165 blood alcohol level.

Cecil police are charging a township woman with being incapable of safe driving and driving under the influence after officers said she was driving on the wrong side of the road last week.

Katherine White, 51, of Cecil-Henderson Road, was driving west on Baker Road Thursday night when police said she approached the crest of a hill and drifted into the left lane.

Police said she stayed in the wrong lane until an officer activated his overhead lights to initiate a traffic stop.

When approached by the officer, White could not locate her license and registration information, police said.

The officer noted that the woman's movement was slow, that her speech was "mumbled" and that the smell of alcohol emanated from her.

White admitted to having two drinks, police said.

When police asked her to step out of the vehicle, she was unsteady on her feet and a field sobriety test reportedly showed signs of impairment.

White was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI and administered a breath test at the Cecil Township police department.

That test showed that White had a .165 percent blood-alcohol content.

Charges will proceed by summons.

Joe - I was on vacation and could not attend. However, I have to call John Bevec tomorrow on anotherRead More issue, and will ask.

Kimberly the chief of police did take money and put it back. Cecil Twp has refused many request toRead More see the audit report. Observer Reporter has taken it to court. Why should the chief get retirement and the person who took the money from the PTA be charged with crime?

Joe- it appears that all the comments made by "seriously" have been removed by someone.
Roger June 14, 2013 at 09:55 pm
Seriously" was a short-time faux name, just as we suspected. Clearly, Patch boards haveRead More reached a point where anybody who defends Mr. White, or anybody choosing to refute an objector to Mr. White, is suspect. These commenters have no credibility, rightly or wrongly. A poisoned headwater taints the whole stream. This seems to be the case with any thread or topic related to Mr. White.
Donald Roessler June 10, 2013 at 04:46 pm
Nice try Jesse. "Seriously".
Me June 10, 2013 at 10:57 pm
http://www.dve.com/pages/randy-baumann.html?article=11371209#.UbZLYEwQPAI.email Seriously Read theRead More above information. See how he used Senator Tim Solobay name. Post your response after you read it. Why would you want anyone Jesse White to be their State Rep.? Resign Resign Resign

The letter to the editor in last Sunday O-R shows that Jesse was outraged over his actions and haveRead More noted that his "pugnacity" while in office got the better of him....I spoke with her and Unfortunately or fortunately, she is advising all of White's constituents to know that this pugnacity has been present, and often misguided, well before his time in office and we should seriously reconsider who is representing us in Harrisburg. When I spoke with her and she said 18 years ago, White attacked her in the press while he was a student at Beth Center writing for the "Young Observer" column in the O-R. At that time she was a school board director. Imagine him being a "savior" for a radical student group he helped form...And all these years have passed and he still has a real problem. Once a problem child always a problem child.....I guess he is still trying to build up his low esteem at the expense of others. I just don't think he will ever change..... I feel sorry for anyone that has daily contact with him.....

Amanda is removing my comments on Cindy Fisher and Cecil Twp I did call names and there was noRead More swearing.
Callie Munch June 12, 2013 at 03:29 pm
Amanda is also on vacation.
James Barth June 16, 2013 at 03:06 pm
Thomas Smith, I sent an email to Amanda, and, the automatic reply stated she was on vacation. IRead More see that your comment has not been deleted. Are you going to write an apology? As far as telling Donald that "activists only like their version of the Truth!!!", think, for a second, to whom you are writing. What is Donald, if not an activist. Full disclosure (again): I am an activist. By the way, I saw a comment you made a couple of years ago in ProPublica, stating that you were 77 years old (so, you must be 79 now, congratulations). Are you not an "activist"?
James Barth June 16, 2013 at 09:33 am
Donald Roessler, Kittypepper, Are you the same personRead More ?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Mr. Roessler, as to your constant, Glen Beck-ian attempts to find "guilt" by association, why would you feel that reading the ShaleShock blog is an offense that would lessen the credibility of another person? Would you like to burn books too?
Me June 16, 2013 at 10:04 am
Pleeeeeese Mr. Barth stop attacking the people of Pa State Rep 46th district. We have problems weRead More have Have Jesse White. Send prayers.
James Barth June 16, 2013 at 11:27 am
Thank you, "Me" for being nice. Please just leave me out, when I'm not in, in the firstRead More place.
Jake June 7, 2013 at 05:28 pm
Yeah the fake Solobay tweets were highly, and I mean highly inappropriate. They are way moreRead More disturbing than anything that has come out yet. Surprisingly the account was suspended an hour after the article was posted. Hmmm. There are also fake accounts for Larry Maggi @notlarrymaggi and rep Christiana @fakejimmy15. They are pretty embarrassing as well. If Prouder American or Frank Renyolds are reading this how about shutting them down. Thank you
Thomas Smith June 8, 2013 at 10:18 am
Donald the Washington county DA will be coming up with the appropriate charges if he can. I guessRead More you will have to be satisfied with that for now. My question is what what happens when he resigns, or his party asks him to step down. Will our district have a special election? Does the Gov. appoint someone to the seat? How will we get a voice again since we don't have one now.
Kittypepper June 16, 2013 at 11:50 am
Thomas, He has had a problem since he was in High School at Beth center when he attacked a SchoolRead More Board member. This man has had issues since he was growing up. As far as someone to replace him, anything would be better than we have now.... Even Mickey Mouse would do a better job, at least Mickey has ethics....

I bought local honey for my son's allergies, but he doesn't like the texture of honey. Therefore, IRead More do not know how well it works on allergy reliefe. BUT... I do know that there are different kinds of local honey. You need to know what airborn allergies affect you the most. I bought pure wild flower honey at the Pumpkin Festival in Houston in the fall. The guys name was Perry Arlia and he is from Washington. 724-225-3701 and 724-986-9848 are the phone numbers on his card that I got with the honey. He's known as the Beekeeper. I hope this much helps you. Good luck!
Chuck Kaezyk III June 7, 2013 at 01:51 pm
Thanks!
Jamie Jones June 13, 2013 at 07:58 am
I was going to recommend the same guy to you. We buy his honey all the time, it's wonderful. HeRead More knows the answer to any questions you have. He's awesome.
