An Atlanta woman faces 10 charges in Gwinnett County after being accused of driving drunk, fleeing police, crashing her car and running from a K-9 unit.

Durrett then hopped out of her damaged vehicle and tried to run away through a wooded area, Sadowski said. A K-9 unit was deployed, leading to her eventual arrest.
