While at the restaurant, authorities said she consumed a couple of alcoholic beverages.
A patron told authorities she left after being there for around three hours. The patron followed her and called Bibb County 911, who notified the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
A Monroe County Sergeant then went to Hile’s home and administered a breathalyzer test in which she registered a .01, under the legal limit.
