The woman that a Nashville police officer died trying to save was arrested Monday morning on the same day a memorial service was held for the fallen hero.

Juli Glisson was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide in connection to the Feb. 2 death of Officer Eric Mumaw, according to The Tennessean.

The 44-year-old officer died just before sunrise while attempting to rescue the woman, who was reportedly suicidal, after her vehicle went into the freezing waters of the Cumberland River in Madison.

Mumaw's body was recovered by divers several hours after he went missing.

Glisson was jailed on $150,000. A newly released arrest warrant revealed that her blood alcohol content at the time of the officer's death was nearly three times the legal limit of .08. She is due in Davidson County court Thursday for a hearing.
