Interfering
Police served a warrant against a Derby woman after she was located at her home on June 7 at 9:01 p.m.

Investigation revealed that she was not driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, but her husband was the driver. He was arrested for a variety of charges stemming from the same incident.
Juana Rivera was charged with interfering with an officer’s investigation.
These charges were levied because she attempted to misdirect the officer’s investigation by claiming to be the driver in the original incident.
She was released after posting $50 bond for court June 21.
