A Knoxville woman was found near her vehicle on Wednesday, laying beside the road.

The Greene County Sheriff's Department responded to the Erwin Highway around midnight. Deputies reportedly found 28-year-old Carla Miller of Knoxville laying beside the roadway around fifty feet from her vehicle.

Miller was unresponsive and woke up after deputies used a sternum rub. Miller refused medical treatment and allegedly said that she had consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana.

It was determined that Miller needed medical attention after she was taken to the Greene County Detention Center. She was given NARCAN and she stated that she had been given a pill earlier that she snorted, according to a Greene County Sheriff's report.

Miller was charged with public intoxication.
