Alleged drunk driver asked deputy for help

STURGIS, S.D. (UPI) -- An alleged drunken driver near Sturgis, S.D., stopped for directions at a residence that turned out to be the home of a sheriff's deputy, authorities said.

Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin said Candy Klein, 37, became lost while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and stopped for directions at a home of a female sheriff's deputy, the Rapid City Journal reported.

Merwin said the deputy, whose name was not released, suspected Klein was intoxicated and refused to allow her to drive. He said the suspect then became enraged and attacked the deputy.

The sheriff said Klein was arrested and charged with felony driving under the influence and simple assault of a law enforcement officer. Suspect allegedly stole clothes to hide.
