Just eight days after she was caught driving while under the influence of controlled substances, Vera Marie Baysore was behind the wheel of her 2016 Nissan Rogue and impaired yet again when she was involved in a crash at West Third and Maynard streets in the middle of the afternoon on March 8, city police alleged in an affidavit.

When the crash took place about 3:20 p.m., a male passenger bailed out of Baysore’s 2016 Nissan while a female passenger was unresponsive from a suspected drug overdose, police said.

Officers immediately attended to the unresponsive woman, giving her “a dose of Naloxone,” a medication that helped revive her, police said.

Baysore, of 690 Route 15, South Williamsport, told police she and her two riders were on their way from the male passenger’s home to the hospital after the female passenger “overdosed on heroin,” it was stated in the court document.

Neither passenger was identified in the affidavit, but police said the male passenger’s home was known to them “for drugs.”

Police said the 37-year-old Baysore “was slurring her words and appeared to be nodding off,” adding that she told officers that she had taken only her legally-prescribed medications in the morning and that it was those drugs that were making her drowsy.

When an officer asked her to perform a series of field sobriety tests, “Baysore began screaming,” accusing the officer of “harassing her and that he should just put her in cuffs now,” it was stated in the court document.

After this outburst, she agreed to perform the tests, but did poorly on them and could not complete them because she kept nodding off, police said.

Soon after she was put in the back of a cruiser, she became unresponsive and was rushed to UPMC Williamsport. She told medical staff that she had “smoked methamphetamine and snorted heroin” earlier in the day, police said.

At the hospital, Baysore agreed to submit a blood test, which later revealed that there were several drugs in her system, including fentanyl and cocaine, police said. From this incident, police charged her with driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

Baysore, who already has one DUI conviction, was charged with the identical misdemeanor offense just a little more than a week earlier when an officer stopped her Nissan on the Maynard Street on-ramp to Interstate 180 East about 10 p.m. on Feb. 28, according to a second affidavit.

She was stopped because of “improperly functioning turn signals,” police said.

After she performed field sobriety tests, the officer “felt she was not capable of safe driving,” and was taken into custody.

A blood test revealed she had methamphetamine and cocaine in her system, police said. She has been held for court on both DUI charges by District Judge Christian Frey and is free on $10,000 bail.
