MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman was arrested after police say she drove into a crime scene as officers were trying to clear a crash on Sunday evening
According to police, they were on the scene of a car accident at Third and Mitchell on Sunday around 6 p.m. when Taylar Hardy drove through crime scene tape in the middle of the crash investigation.
Officers said Hardy was traveling southbound on Third in an Audi Q5 with altered expired TN drive-out tags when she drove directly into the scene.
Police approached Hardy and asked her to get out of her vehicle and she initially refused.

After searching her vehicle, officers say they found an opened bottle of alcohol and THC candy.
Hardy was given a sobriety test and failed.
Hardy faces several charges, including driving under the influence, public intoxication, and reckless driving.
