A Colden woman who recorded a 0.22 percent blood-alcohol level after her vehicle went off

Route 240 in Colden and scraped the outside of a home Monday night was charged with felony

DWI, Erie County sheriff's deputies reported.

Lorraine M. Sheridan lost control of her SUV, which went off the road shortly after 8 p.m.

and destroyed several small trees, a fence and a barbecue grill belonging to the homeowner.

The uninjured woman had left the scene of the accident, authorities said, but Deputies Don

Hoelscher and Paul McMahon apprehended her a short distance away. Her blood-alcohol reading

was nearly three times the legal limit.

They charged Sheridan, 49, with felony driving while intoxicated, imprudent speed, and

leaving the scene of an accident, according to police reports. Deputies said a December 2005

conviction for driving while intoxicated led to the felony DWI charge.
