HOLLISTER, Calif. — Hollister Police arrested a woman for a DUI Tuesday around 6:47 p.m. after police say she rolled her car at Calvary Cemetery.
According to police the driver drove around the cemetery and turned it "into a racetrack."
She was arrested with a blood-alcohol content of .18%, said police.
Police said the driver was going at a high rate of speed and lost control of her vehicle as she swerved to avoid a pedestrian.
The woman was arrested and booked into San Benito County jail for driving under the influence while being underage, according to police.
Calvary Cemetery said that around half a dozen resting places were damaged when the car rolled into a field of graves. Other headstones were taken out but have since been put back.
The cemetery is asking anyone with a family member buried there to come by and make sure their loved one's gravesite is not damaged.
