Police say a woman allegedly drove across a Kingston soccer field in order to make it to the bar while she was already drunk.

On Oct. 2, around 11 p.m., police were called to Kingston’s Invista Centre on Gardiners Road, because witnesses said they saw someone in a car driving over a concrete curb and across the centre’s soccer field.

Police then found a vehicle parked sideways across two accessible spaces at a nearby bar. Police say the vehicle had grass jammed in its front end.

According to a police press release, the woman was then found in the bar, allegedly impaired by alcohol.
