According to police, Worland showed signs of impairment and failed a series of field sobriety tests. She also refused to take a chemical test. During the arrest, police say Worland became uncooperative and bit one of the officers.

She has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, resisting law enforcement, and battery on a police officer. Worland has since posted bond.

Those facing criminal charges are considered innocent unless convicted through due legal proceedings. Accusations alone do not imply guilt; the judicial system will evaluate the presented evidence to reach a verdict.
