A woman has been arrested after a hit-and-run crash in Hubbard County. On March 14, at 10:30 a.m., the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a hit and run crash at the intersection of Hubbard County Road 9 and US Highway 71. Upon arrival, deputies spoke to a 56 year-old man who said he was stopped at a stop sign on County Road 9 waiting to turn. He told deputies that another vehicle that was travelling south on US Highway 7 also attempted to turn onto County Road 9 and hit the front of his vehicle. A press release states the female driver stopped, exited her vehicle and asked the man not to call law-enforcement as she did not have a driver’s license or insurance. She wrote her name and address on a piece of paper and then left the scene. Deputies say they responded to the address and found the vehicle in the driveway. According to officials, 34 year-old Victoria Whitefeather was sleeping inside the vehicle. Whitefeather admitted to officers that she involved in the crash, saying was coming from the liquor store and going to meet a friend. While speaking to Whitefeather, Deputies say they detected a strong odor of alcohol, and say she had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on her feet. Whitefeather performed a field sobriety test but failed and was placed under arrest for DUI. According to deputies, Whitefeather’s blood alcohol level was a .10. Deputies say after searching her vehicle, they found an open bottle of vodka, a bag of marijuana, 3 Gabapentin pills and a folded up bill in a zip loc bag. According to the press release, in 2013, Whitefeather was convicted of 1st degree DUI after a crash resulted in a Criminal Vehicular Homicide charge after she caused the death of a motorcyclist.
