CLIVE, Iowa (KCCI) — Authorities used Stop Sticks to flatten the tires of a woman who was allegedly drunk while driving the wrong way on Interstate 80/35 in Polk County late Wednesday night. There was an active dense fog advisory when Courtney Allen, of Huxley, drove the wrong way on the interstate for miles, prompting multiple 911 calls from other drivers, according to court documents.

Allen was traveling north/eastbound in the south/westbound lanes of I80/35. A Clive police officer traveling in the correct direction activated their lights and sirens when they caught up with Allen, but said she did not stop. Responding officers eventually deployed the Stop Sticks, which popped the wrong-way driver’s tires and forcing her to stop.

Allen is charged with second-offense operating while intoxicated, driving on the wrong side of a two-way highway, reckless driving, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle and not wearing a seatbelt.
