A Salina woman was arrested after a vehicle she was believed to have driven was found inoperable on W. Crawford Street early Monday.

A Salina Police officer located an inoperable 2012 Chevrolet Impala in the westbound lanes of the 1200 block of W. Crawford Street at 12:30 a.m. Monday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The vehicle had extensive front end and undercarriage damage.

Through the course of the investigation, it was found that the car had struck pump No. 8 at Dillons, 1201 W. Crawford Street, causing minor damage to the car. Additionally, the pump had the fuel hose disconnected and some minor damage. The extensive damage to the Impala was caused by a separate accident, and police have yet to locate or determine what may have been struck, Forrester noted.

The driver of the vehicle was determined to be Shaelyn Jacobs, 29, of Salina. According to Forrester, the registered owner could not be contacted at the time of the accident to determine if Jacobs had permission to have the vehicle.

Forrester reported that Jacobs was found to be under the influence of alcohol and was arrested on the following requested charges.
