Woman arrested after crashing into Ronkonkoma pond

(Ronkonkoma, NY)-  An Islandia woman was arrested Thursday night after police say she allegedly drove drunk and crashed her SUV into a Ronkonkoma pond.  Officials say 39-year-old Melissa McMullen was driving a 2009 Mercury Mountaineer when she landed in a pond at the Colony Park Apartments on Peconic Street.  When they arrived at the scene, just before 8pm, police say the vehicle was taking on water, so they broke one of the vehicles windows, attached a chain and pulled McMullen and her vehicle, out of the water.  McMullen was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and charged with DWI.
