A rollover accident near the Johnson County Jail has led to a University of Iowa student’s arrest.

Iowa City Police received a report just before 12:30 Thursday morning of a Toyota that had rolled over and flipped onto its side near the corner of Prentiss and Capitol Streets. The driver, 23-year-old Emily Edwards of Aaron Drive, allegedly showed signs of intoxication, denied drinking, and had open containers with liquid inside that smelled of alcohol. Police say Edwards showed impairment on field sobriety tests, and refused breath testing. She was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated.
