A former Alabama police officer was charged with DUI after wrecking the SUV she was driving in July in Jackson County, authorities said Tuesday.

Mercedes L. Rugart, 32, of Rainsville, who was with the city’s police department until her resignation a month after the incident, Rainsville’s police chief told local outlets, was arrested in connection with the incident.

Rugart was driving a 2021 Chevy Tahoe that left the roadway of Alabama Route 35 near Ryan Street in Jackson County on July 26 when the SUV left the road and struck a culvert and utility pole before overturning, said Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, which announced Rugart’s arrest Tuesday.
