A 32-year-old woman was arrested Monday night after she allegedly crashed her car into the Jacksonville Jaguars practice facility on purpose.

She allegedly crashed her car through a gate and into glass doors at the Miller Electric Center. It’s a 125,000-square foot practice facility adjacent to EverBank Stadium, which opened just in time for training camp in July.

The woman faces charges of driving under the influence (DUI), five counts of DUI property damage, aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and criminal mischief, according to a a Tuesday report from News4JAX.

Local sports anchor Jamal St. Cyr claimed the incident didn’t appear to be related to football. He posted a photo of the doors, which are now boarded shut with wood. They serve as a back entrance for the player and staff parking lot, Jacksonville.com reporter Demetrius Harvey said.
