EAST PROVIDENCE — A city woman only days removed from being arrested on charges of driving under the influence was involved in another alcohol related incident on New Year's Eve.

Brenda Buja, of 13 Washburn Ave. in the Rumford section, is charged with ramming her vehicle into the home of her neighbor at 9 Washburn Ave. at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 31.

Ms. Buja, 42, then left the vehicle and walked just next door to her home. She also faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident and refusing a chemical test as well as violating bail.

It's the second time in a matter of 11 days Ms. Buja was arrested on a DUI charge. East Providence Police said she was taken into custody on December 20 for the same violation. As she was Thursday, she was released on bail after that previous incident.

Ms. Buja is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, Jan. 4, in Sixth District Court, Providence.
