MUNCIE (AP) — Police say a Ball State University student faces drunken driving charges after crashing a car into a decorative glass dome on the campus.
Jennifer Miller, 21, borrowed a car to leave a nearby party just after midnight Sunday and drove over a curb and onto a median before crashing into the nearly 300-pound dome.
A school spokeswoman says the green glass dome was replaced by a spare in repairs that cost about $9,500. The dome is one of four installed two months ago as part of a $2.2 million road beautification project.
Police say Miller had a blood alcohol content more than twice Indiana’s legal limit. She’s facing a preliminary misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated in a manner that endangers a person.
