A Levittown woman was charged with aggravated and simple assault, resisting arrest, DUI, disorderly conduct and other related offenses over the weekend after an incident in Morrisville.

Tina Vossbein, 50, was pulled over by Morrisville Borough police late last Friday night after she was spotted driving on the wrong side of the road.

Vossbein said she had only drank a glass of wine and had requested the portable breath test, police said.

According to court papers, the woman appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the traffic stop and later blew a blood alcohol content above the legal limit of .08.

At one point, Vossbein closed the door of her Ford Explorer and began screaming. She then allegedly grabbed for what police say was a small screw driver.
