— Two Okay women who left the scene of an injury accident at North York Street and Keetoowah Trail at 3:20 p.m. Monday were arrested on a variety of complaints.
Allison Rae Desposito was booked into Muskogee County/City Detention Facility on complaints of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an injury accident, no security verification and failure to yield, police said.
Lt. Todd Whitman said Desposito was driving a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser when she failed to yield at a stop sign on Keetoowah Trail.
Police said she slammed the PT Cruiser into a red 1996 Geo that was northbound on North York Street being driven by Ebony Sherman, 24. Sherman was taken by ambulance to Muskogee Regional Medical Center, where she was treated and released.
After the collision, another woman in the PT Cruiser, Jimynda G. Pond, 30, switched places with Desposito and started driving as they fled to Okay, Whitman said.
The women, headed north on Oklahoma 16, were followed by citizens who cornered them in Okay, he said.
A tire on the PT Cruiser was smoking after having been punctured in the wreck — and they were riding on the rim all the way to Okay after they left the scene of the accident, Whitman said.
Pond was arrested for DUI, leaving the scene of an injury accident, no driver’s license, no security verification and resisting an officer, Whitman said.
The women were sitting in the PT Cruiser in Okay at the time of their arrests, Whitman said.
