Getting stopped for DUI seems to be all the rage at the Pinal County Assessor's Office these days -- just seven months after County Assessor Paul Larkin got pinched for driving tipsy, Assistant County Assessor Jacqueline Minto was nabbed for extreme DUI.

Last night, Minto was involved in a serious injury collision in San Tan Valley -- and she was apparently wasted.

According to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, Minto failed to stop at a red light about 7 p.m. yesterday. She slammed into theback of one car, which then slammed into the car in front of it.

The driver of the vehicle that was initially struck suffered head, neck,
leg, and arm injuries and had to be taken to Banner Ironwood Hospital.

Minto, the PCSO says, showed "obvious signs of alcohol impairment." She
claims, however, to have had only one glass of wine at a bar just prior to crashing
into the back of another vehicle.

The breathalyzer, however, told a different story: Minto's blood alcohol content was .183 -- more than twice the legal limit.

Minto was booked into the Pinal County jail on one count each of extreme DUI and aggravated assault.

In February, Larkin, Minto's boss, was stopped for DUI as well. More on his arrest here.

Larkin's next court date is scheduled for November 16.
