EASTLAKE, OH (WOIO) -

Eastlake police bust a driving instructor for OVI.

It happened Friday shortly after 6:30PM.

An officer on routine patrol noticed a student driver's car go off the highway when turning from Roberts Road onto SR 91.

The driver, 45-year-old Vicki Wojtila of Euclid, was stopped. A half empty bottle of vodka was found in her purse.

Wojtila appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and or drugs. The officer learned during the stop that Wojtila was a driving instructor for the Town and City Driving School in Willowick, and had just dropped off a juvenile driving student at the student's home just minutes prior to being stopped by police.

Wojtila failed field sobriety testing and refused to submit to breath testing at the EPD station.

She is scheduled for a court appearance Tuesday in Willoughby Municipal Court on charges of OVI and other traffic violations.
