LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Police arrested a woman with six prior DUIs allegedly driving again under the influence in a rented car without a license, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.
Richa Birdow, 44, faces charges of felony DUI and driving with a revoked license, documents said.
Birdow has six prior DUI arrests on her record, police said, including two felony DUI convictions in 2013 and 2017.
On Thursday, Feb. 1 around 3 a.m., a Las Vegas Metro police officer stopped Birdow while she was driving on Flamingo Road near Palos Verdes Street, documents said. The officer stopped Birdow after she braked suddenly and after the officer noticed a taillight was inoperable.
While speaking with Birdow, the officer noted she was “[slurring] her words and [squinting] her eyes,” documents said. When the officer asked where Birdow was driving from, she said the Aria Resort & Casino. She also told police she had rented the car, though it was unclear how this was possible if she did not have a valid driver’s license.
