Police said Plante was drunk or on drugs, had a suspended license and was wanted by police in Florida. Plante also was charged with assault after allegedly kicking an officer in the shin.

Police charged Plante with criminal drunk driving, assault, theft, criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license. She has a court date of March 20 in York District Court.
