A local TV traffic reporter was arrested late Sunday night, accused of driving drunk. Larra Overton, 27, the morning traffic reporter for WRTV-TV Channel 6, told police she was driving along Carrollton Avenue near 60th Street and swerved to miss an oncoming car. Instead, she hit a parked pickup truck, shoving the vehicle into a neighboring yard and onto the front porch. Police say a breathalyzer registered her blood alcohol level at 0.17, more than twice the legal limit. Overton, also a Big Ten Network sideline reporter, was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and public intoxication.
