“OAKLAND — A 23-year-old Garrett County woman charged in connection with a fatal drunken driving accident nine days ago was arrested again early Friday for alleged drunken driving.

Julie Marie Jenkins of Accident was arrested at 2:30 a.m. by Garrett County deputies after she was reportedly observed weaving back and forth and crossing the center line of U.S. Route 219 just north of Oakland while operating a 1998 Dodge truck.” —Reuters
