Hope Woodside, a former Utah news anchor, arrested for driving drunk twice in two days

Former longtime FOX 13 anchor Hope Woodside is facing multiple charges after she was arrested twice for driving under the influence of alcohol in a two-day period.

Woodside was arrested March 29 in Summit County after someone called dispatchers and complained that she was drinking alcohol and driving around the Pinebrook/Jeremy Ranch area.

A Summit County sheriff’s deputy pulled her over for a traffic violation, according to jail booking documents, and noticed an “odor of an alcoholic beverage.” The deputy conducted field sobriety tests, he wrote in booking documents, but Woodside refused a breathalizer.

The deputy wrote that he found a Diet Coke can with alcohol in it in Woodside's vehicle, along with a bottle of Chardonnay that had the seal broken.
