GUILDERLAND — A drunk high school student backed into a cop’s car last Thursday before she sped off and crashed into a telephone pole, Guilderland Police say.

Sondra P. Galvin, 17, was arrested for driving while intoxicated, first offense, a misdemeanor, and for four infractions: speeding; driving without a front-seat belt; leaving the scene of an accident; and failure to keep right.

Galvin, of 3 Moore Ave., Saratoga, was listed in the arrest report as being an 11th grade student; and she was arrested on West Lydius Street.
Police received a radio call about a car "driving at a high rate of speed" through the town of Rotterdam and they found Galvin parked at a gas station, the report says. When a Guilderland Police officer pulled behind Galvin with his lights on, she backed into his vehicle before jumping the curb and speeding away on West Lydius, according to the arrest report.
Guilderland Police say they found Galvin a short time later after she crashed into a telephone pole. Police found Galvin "hiding" in the back seat of the crashed vehicle, and, when asked to get out of the car, she "did not have any pants or underwear on," the report says.
Galvin admitted to police that she had been drinking vodka and beer and she had several "head lacerations and contusions" as a result of the car crash, police say. Police say they saw signs of intoxication and smelled alcohol when interviewing Galvin, the report says, and also that she looked "dazed and confused"and [was] not making sense."

A pre-screening device revealed that Galvin tested positive for alcohol and she was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital before being released, according to the arrest report.
