A Crossville woman has been charged with DUI and Leaving the Scene of an Accident after police spotted her on Highway 127 driving a black Dodge Ram on a rim, with the fender hanging out and undercarriage damage.  When she turned into the Waffle House, police made contact with 45-year-old Kelli Beasmore who reportedly denied being involved in an accident.  However, police say a Dodge Ram emblem was found next to a downed TDOT sign on the Exit 317 ramp, along with tire tracks. Her van also had damage consistent with hitting the sign. Property damage was estimated between $5,000-$10,000. Ms. Beasmore was transported to the Cumberland County Justice Center.
