Police say the driver was identified as Mia Fisher, 19, of Fresno. Fisher was placed under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol and two counts of hit and run. During the investigation, police say Fisher became violent with investigating officers and was also charged with two counts of battery on a police officer and one count of resisting arrest. Bail for Fisher was set at $5,000.

No bystanders were injured, although Fisher did receive superficial abrasions from the collisions and resulting air bag deployment. Police say Fisher’s vehicle crashed through a fence and into a parked vehicle in the driveway of the residence. The force of the collision pushed the parked vehicle into the house causing minor damage to the house. The resident, according to SLOPD, was not home at the time of the collision.
