- Police reported a DUI occurred Dec. 28 on Collins Avenue, Clearfield. According to a department-issued news release, information was initially received regarding a female who was riding a motorized bicycle while apparently under the influence as she nearly caused a motor vehicle accident. Reportedly, the female entered a Collins Avenue home without permission, prompting the resident to call police. On-scene officers located 30-year-old Elizabeth Eles of Clearfield, who was allegedly “highly intoxicated” and had caused problems for the resident for “personal reasons.” Because she’d made “numerous threats” and was disorderly, she was taken into custody, police said. Though the resident didn’t pursue charges against Eles, she was placed under arrest with relation to DUI. She was transported to the township police station where she refused to provide a breath sample. Eles was then transported to her home and released to a sober person; she was charged with DUI, careless driving and public intoxication.
