GooglePatricia Kathryn Ax was booked into the Greene County Jail by Linton Reserve Police Officer Brock Garrison at 4:14 a.m. and released later in the day after posting $4,000 bond.
Garrison said he was on routine patrol around 2:50 a.m. when he approached the library and noticed a silver Chevrolet Impala had driven into the grass on the north side of the library and had gotten stuck.
The officer pulled over to speak to the driver. She identified herself as Ax and the officer reported he noticed the smell of an alcoholic beverage. He called for other officers to assist.
LPD Cpl. Paul Clark and Officer Nick Yingling arrived and Ax was taken to the Linton Police Department for standard field sobriety tests. She was also asked to submit to a breath test, which she did -- the accident report states the result was .17 BAC (blood-alcohol content).
Although Ax's address is listed in Linton on the accident report, it is listed as Lyons on the booking form at the jail.
She was arrested on the preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in a manner which endangered a person, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to at least .15 grams or more of alcohol in blood or breath.
On Monday, judging from the muddy ruts in the north lawn of the library, it appeared the vehicle traveled from the street up the sidewalk and came to a stop between the flag pole and the entrance to the library.
According to the accident report, she left the lot of Bottom's Up Bar on SE 1st St and for an unknown reason, traveled east across SE 1st and into the lawn.
No injuries were reported.
Ax is scheduled to appear in court for an initial hearing at 8:30 a.m. on Friday.

That's one hell of an entrance to the library. Perhaps she was attempting to perform some stunt devil driving techniques by sliding up to the library entrance in hopes of grabbing a copy of Ted Kennedy's biography.
Maybe she thought they had a late night drive thru like Taco Bell???
wait this isnt taco bell?.....burp.....
hey wiat.....burp uh oh
I know you have a point Puzzle but most people have to be EXTREMELY drunk and out of control for a bartender to stop selling them alcohol. Its all about the $$$$. Shouldnt drive drunk! Not the bartenders fault. A point .17 is different for everyone but I would almost guarantee most people that leave a bar are over .2
Lmao, I laughed at the comments. I can just imagine this woman leaving the bar 'Wow I am so book hungry, I think I want to read!' -Drives to library- 'It's to dark I can't see the parking lot, I will just park there!' -Drives into the yard and gets stuck- 'Oh no! Maybe this was a bad idea' -Falls asleep & the police arrive-
Seriously.. COME ON! lol.
what a joke DUI laws are! one (1) officer outside any bar = how many DUIs. what a joke. must be good to own a bar or drink and drive home from one.
Doesn't almost everyone that leaves a bar drive after drinking? Never could understand this. It's illegal but the bars are packed. What, did everyone walk?
Young lady? I think at age 36 you've lost time to turn things around in your life. 26 maybe, but not 36. thankfuly she didn't kill neone. Good work officer garrison.

Ronkovic, 36 is most definitely not old! Anyone can turn their life around at any age.
Clever play on words giving tree "menopause is hot"
and why the rush to the library so late at night?
the most recently published book at the linton library is probably "to kill a mockingbird"
Linton has a library?
