Yarmouth Woman Arrested for OWI After Vehicle Found Parked Facing Wrong Direction

On the evening of Friday, July 25, 2025, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle creating a traffic hazard on 220th Street, near the intersection with Racine Avenue.

At approximately 7:46 p.m., deputies arrived on scene and discovered a grey 2015 Infiniti QX6 parked in the eastbound lane of 220th Street—but facing westbound. The unusual positioning of the vehicle posed a safety concern to other drivers.

Deputies identified the driver as 47-year-old Sherry Christensen of Yarmouth. Upon investigation, Christensen exhibited signs of impairment consistent with alcohol or drug use. She was administered field sobriety tests and was subsequently arrested for Operating While Under the Influence, First Offense.

In addition to the OWI charge, Christensen was issued a written warning for Open Container.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office reminds motorists to never operate a vehicle while impaired, and to report suspicious or unsafe driving to local authorities.
