Officers say Nix was driving an SUV that hit a Chevy TrailBlazer on Riverside near the Creek Turnpike entrance at about 1 a.m. Witnesses told police she didn't stop.

Police say the driver of the TrailBlazer and a man in a pickup who witnessed the crash followed Nix and used their vehicles to block her in until police could get there.

Police say Nix was wrapped up in a blanket when she got out of the vehicle.

According to the arrest report, Nix told officers she'd "only had a couple of beers, and three jack and cokes at the casino." Police said they didn't do a sobriety check because of the weather. They say she refused to take a breath test, saying, "We all know I've been drinking."

Police booked her on one count of DUI.

No one was seriously injured in the crash.
