Aylin Alvarez-Perez, referred to as Aylin Alderette in her arrest report, was also determined to be impaired after she had slow reflexes in slowing down for the red light, only slowing to 81 mph as she approached the intersection at Eastern and Harmon avenues.

Alvarez-Perez faces DUI and reckless driving charges. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 10.
