A woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Friday night after she apparently backed her vehicle into Adobe Beverage and Deli in the 1400 block of Casa Grande Road in Petaluma, police said.

In a Nixle alert sent Saturday, Petaluma police said the collision caused “significant damage” to the business. The driver, Alaina Wiltshire, 32, of Petaluma, “displayed objective signs of alcohol impairment and was placed under arrest.”

Motorists caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license, police said.
