Allegedly driving to the Johnson County Jail while intoxicated has led to charges against a North Liberty woman.

According to the Johnson Country Sheriff’s Office, 20-year-old Catherine Fuhrmeister of North Juniper Street walked into the Capitol Street facility just after 3am Sunday to pick up a friend who had been arrested earlier in the night. Per sheriff’s office policy, Fuhrmeister was given a breathalyzer test before her friend could be released. The result was above a .08. A follow-up test showed similar results.

Surveillance video shows Fuhrmeister parking the car outside the jail. She was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated.
