Dawn Finucan, 50, of Butler was pulled over by state police and charged with drugged driving. Finucan is currently awaiting a trial on the same offense.

Only weeks after suffering an apparent overdose while awaiting trial for driving on drugs, a Butler woman was arrested again for drugged driving.

State police pulled over 50-year-old Dawn S. Finucan just after 1 a.m. Thursday after they spotted her car cross the white fog line on Route 8 in Butler.

Finucan, who appeared impaired, failed both field sobriety tests and a drug recognition expert's evaluation, police said.

A search of her car — a rental vehicle — turned up a crack pipe, according to court documents.

She was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital for a blood test. Toxicology reports are pending.

Police, however, didn't wait for the results. They immediately charged her with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and three traffic violations.

District Judge Wayne Seibel arraigned her on the charges and placed her in the Butler County Prison on $15,000 bail.
