According to an arrest affidavit, the responding trooper noticed several impairment indicators: slurred speech, bloodshot, watery eyes, disoriented and a strong odor of alcohol coming from her breath.
Burke told the responding deputy that she had four beers and was heading home from a local bar.
The injuries that Burke sustained made her unable to complete a breath test or give a blood sample.
Blood samples taken early the next day showed Burke was over the legal limit.
