Records show she was pulled over and arrested after officers found her driving with an open container and no driver’s license.

She’s expected to be charged with capital murder for 30-year-old Deleon Williams’s death over the weekend.

Police found Williams and another man tied up in a home in the Red Bird neighborhood after a woman escaped from the home and screamed for help.

A neighbor called 911 and sat with the woman until police and paramedics arrived. She had been shot and was bleeding from her head.

Before being taken to the hospital in critical condition, the woman was able to lead police to the home where the two men were still tied up.

Williams was already dead from a gunshot wound by the time officers arrived. The second was not injured.

Investigators believe the victims were robbed.
