A drunken woman caused authorities to work hard to recover a submerged car after she told cops her boyfriend might have drowned inside the vehicle.
Harris County Constable Precinct 4 responded to reports of a DUI crash in a pond in the 7100 block of Avalon Bend Circle Friday morning.
Once at the scene, they found a car submerged in the pond and met the female driver who claimed she couldn’t remember if her boyfriend was inside the vehicle.
“While intoxicated, she said her boyfriend may have been inside when the vehicle went under,” police said.
A dive team recovered the car and confirmed that no one was inside just before 9:30 a.m.
The woman was arrested on DUI charges.
The incident came one day after the body of a man was recovered from water in the same neighborhood.
