A 25-year old Roseville woman is facing charges of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an injury accident and operating without a valid license. 

 

Troy police say part of the evidence against Dana Burleigh is a posting she wrote to a friend on Facebook. Police say she wrote she was involved in a crash and was drunk. 

The two-car crash happened on I-75 west of Rochester Road on Sept. 1. 

 

Police say Burleigh walked away from the crash to a nearby hotel where she used a computer in the lobby. 

Burleigh told police someone else was driving her car, but would not say who it was.  When they smelled alcohol on her breath, she submitted to a PBT which registered .12 percent.

Burleigh has been arraigned and is out on a $5,000 personal bond.
