A suspected drunk driver was located between the levee and the railroad tracks on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024.

A suspected drunk driver was located Sunday night driving between the levee and the railroad tracks in North Lawrence.

A vehicle was reported to dispatch as driving erratically in North Lawrence around 9:50 p.m. The vehicle was located by Lawrence police near the railroad tracks and parked on the incline of the Kansas River levee, according to a post on social media from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

An investigation into the incident by sheriff’s deputies determined that the vehicle had driven next to the tracks before trying to get on top of the levee, the post said. The train had to be stopped due to the location of the vehicle.

Deputies arrested Athena Lauren Fischbach, 27, of Independence, Missouri, in the 1000 block of North Third Street on suspicion of DUI. She was released shortly thereafter on a $250 bond.
