SANFORD (CBSMiami/AP) — Authorities arrested a central Florida woman they said drove her car through her home because she was intoxicated.

Pinellas County Sheriff's officials say 46-year-old Cheri Tenney hit part of her garage while trying to park on Saturday.

Witnesses said an hour later she got back in the car, revved the engine and drove the vehicle through the front of her home and out the back.

Authorities said she then placed the vehicle in reverse and backed it through the home and parked it in the front yard before she got out of the car and went back inside.

She was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and battery on a law enforcement officer.
