Las Vegas driver with revoked license crashes into city truck while walking impaired: police

According to the files, the driver has already been cited several times

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A driver with a revoked license reportedly crashed into a Las Vegas city truck while under the influence of alcohol and with an open bottle of alcohol in the car and two children as passengers, documents say.

Antoinette Coleman, 58, faces multiple charges, including drunken driving, driving with a revoked license and failure to provide proof of insurance, records state.

On Friday, May 3, a Las Vegas Metro Police officer witnessed Coleman crash her unregistered car into a city vehicle near Las Vegas and Tonopah Drives, documents state. Coleman’s license is revoked in Nevada, police said.

Police said Coleman’s car smelled of alcohol, documents said. Police later found an open bottle of brandy in the glove compartment, they said.

While she was at the hospital, an officer had to handcuff Coleman to her bed because she was causing several disturbances, police said.

According to the documents, police have charged Coleman three times since 2000 with driving without a valid license. As of Thursday, she owed $740 for a ticket issued in April 2023 for failing to provide proof of insurance.

Pro-Temp Judge Lauren Diefenbach initially set Coleman’s bail at $38,000. On Thursday, Judge Joe Bonaventure released Coleman on her own recognizance because prosecutors had not yet filed criminal charges against her.

Coleman was scheduled to return to court on June 6.
