Law enforcement confirms Tulsa City Auditor Cathy Criswell spent some time in jail early Sunday morning, after she was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. The arrest report says Criswell was stopped by Tulsa County sheriff's deputies about 12:22 a.m. near Sheridan and East 41st Street.

The report indicates Criswell smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and was unsteady on her feet.

A field breath test concluded her blood-alcohol level was 0.08. A reading of 0.08 or more is considered intoxicated under Oklahoma law.

Criswell was booked into the Tulsa Jail about 1:45 a.m. on complaints of driving under the influence, failing to keep in the proper lane and operating a vehicle without proper registration. 

She was released after posting a $1,200 bond.
