On February 8, 2017, at about 8:20 AM, a Sergeant with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office saw a woman in a car at the Dug Out convenience store at 866 South Main Street in Spanish Fork. As he left the parking lot he saw 27 year old Danielle Della Simpson, Brigham City, in her car. The car was in bad condition and had California registration that was expired nearly two years. The Sergeant drove by the convenience store about 15 minutes later and Simpson was still sitting in her car in the same position. He stopped to talk to her to see if she needed help. He found that there were two small girls, ages 4 and 5, asleep in the car. Simpson told the Sergeant that she was waiting for a friend. She further told the Sergeant she thought she was in either Draper or Cedar City. Simpson was also exhibiting behaviors that are consistent with drug use. After administering field sobriety tests to the driver the Sergeant arrested Simpson for DUI.
