A 26-year-old Tampa woman was arrested Friday night and charged with two counts of DUI with property damage. She was treated at a local hospital before being booked into the Hillsborough County Jail.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Ms. Dezelle P. Bennett, of Tampa, was driving a 2015 Chrysler 200 westbound on U. S. 41. She was traveling westbound when she at- tempted to access State Road 618, via the eastbound ramp.

Ms. Bennett was trans- ported to Tampa General Hospital, where she was treated and released.
