Maryann Christy, 54, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after Roselle police stopped her car with a 15-foot tree lodged in its front grille at about 11 p.m. January 23, 2016.

Police stopped the southbound car on Roselle Road near Irving Park Road. Its airbags had deployed, and Christy failed field sobriety tests. She told officers she had struck the tree in her hometown of Schaumburg but could not remember where. Deputy Police Chief Roman Tarchala estimated that she had continued driving for at least a few miles. Police released dashcam video of the stop on March 7.
