The car came to a stop on its roof, just in front of the new location of the Gone With The Wind museum. The fire hydrant was damaged during the crash but not enough to release water.
Stansell admitted to drinking alcohol before driving, McPhilamy said. She registered a .097, according to the crash report. The legal limit in Georgia is .08.
The Powder Springs woman also faces several traffic offenses.
She was booked into the Smyrna city jail.
