At around 10:00pm, a Rehoboth Beach Police officer observed Carroll, who was operating a grey Toyota Highlander with Delaware registration, fail to stop at a red light as she turned from Rehoboth Avenue westbound onto Second Street southbound.  The officer pursued Carroll and activated his emergency equipment.  Carroll, who did not immediately pull over, eventually did so in the second block of Norfolk Street.

Carroll was transported back to the Rehoboth Beach Police Department for further testing at which time the officer determined that she had three prior DUI related convictions making this her fourth offense and a felony.  

Carroll was arrested and charged with 1 count of felony fourth offense driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, 1 count of failure to stop at a red light, and 1 count of failure to have insurance identification in possession.
