BARNSTABLE (WBSM) — Barnstable Police arrested a Falmouth woman for allegedly driving drunk after she struck an officer with her car while leaving a concert.

Lisa Limberakis, 45, faces charges that include operating under the influence of liquor and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

A Barnstable officer was directing traffic on August 14 at approximately 10:40 p.m. outside of the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis.

Concertgoers were leaving when a car allegedly struck the officer's knee and flashlight. The officer declined medical attention.

Limberakis was ordered to pull her vehicle over.
