Troopers say Fisher's blood alcohol level (BAL) was over three times the legal limit at .271, and that they found open containers of wine inside her vehicle.

Fisher's latest arrest follows her plea of not guilty in Kittitas County Superior Court to felony DUI charges related to her arrest on Nov. 22, 2024 on Interstate-90 near Cle Elum.

Troopers say Fisher had been stopped after being observed repeatedly crossing both the lane and fog lines of I-90 and following witness reports that her vehicle had collided with a guardrail several times on State Route 18 in neighboring King County.

Arresting troopers say Fisher smelled of alcohol, failed field sobriety tests, and was found to have a BAL of over twice the legal limit at .170.

Fisher is facing felony counts for both DUIs due to a prior conviction of vehicular assault while driving while intoxicated in March, 2007.
