SAN CARLOS, Ariz. - A 32-year-old woman is facing an eye-watering 46 criminal charges after police say she drove drunk, struck a pedestrian and plowed her pickup truck into a home where multiple children were inside.
What we know:
The San Carlos Apache Police Department announced the arrest of Ashley Nosie following an investigation into the violent July 11 collision on White Mountain Avenue. Nosie's massive laundry list of charges includes aggravated DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, and dozens of individual counts of assault and endangerment.
