INDIANAPOLIS -- A Marion County deputy prosecutor was arrested early Saturday after she was intoxicated when she hit another vehicle and tried to leave the scene, police said.

Gillian S. DePrez, 28, was pulled over just after 3 a.m. Saturday in the 6100 block of N. Winthrop Avenue, said Lt. Jeffrey Duhamell.

According to the police report, DePrez struck a vehicle on 61st Street between Winthrop and Guilford avenues and attempted to leave the scene, driving at a high rate of speed away from the crash.

When she was pulled over by an officer who witnessed the crash, he said that DePrez smelled of alcohol. She later failed a field sobriety test, Duhamell said.

DePrez was arrested and preliminarily charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and failing to stop after an accident.

DePrez resigned from the prosecutor's office. A special prosecutor will be assigned to the case.
