State Police at Hollidaysburg were dispatched to I-99, Snyder Township, at 6:24 p.m. on April 10. They had received reports of a woman who was slumped over the wheel of a black F150, which was parked off of the roadway, in the grass near the 50.4 mile marker.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers spoke to a witness, who related that she had been traveling south-bound when she saw the vehicle and stopped to check. She stated that the driver was slumped over the center console while the engine was on and the vehicle was still in drive.
An officer then spoke to the suspect, who was identified as Tessa M. Schroy, 28, of Tyrone. Schroy explained that she had pulled over because, while she was driving, she had felt tired and started hearing voices. She admitted to having taken three to four extra prescribed pills earlier that day.
Officers noted that Schroy’s eyelids were droopy, that her speech was slurred, that she was mumbling, that she had a lack of balance, that she appeared sluggish and that her pupils were dilated.
Schroy was placed through SFST’s and ARIDE, where she exhibited multiple indicators of impairment. She admitted to also using methamphetamine prior to driving. However, she denied using or taking any prescription medication or methamphetamine either while driving or after she had pulled off of I-99.
Schroy was placed under arrest and transported to UPMC Altoona for a blood draw. An NCIC/CLEAN check of Schroy revealed that she had a suspended driver’s license, effective Nov. 19, 2014.
She was charged with two counts of driving under the influence, driving while license was suspended and careless driving. The charges were filed through Magisterial District Judge Fred Miller. All charges were held, as Schroy failed to appear in court. A request was sent for issuance of a county bench warrant.
