Former Dance Moms star Christi Lukasiak was arrested on accusations she was driving while intoxicated, and authorities allege she refused a blood alcohol level test.

Lukasiak, whose legal name is Christina Lukasiak, was arrested in Pennsylvania by the Murrysville Police Department in June and charged with driving under the influence, according to a criminal docket reviewed by PEOPLE.

The 47-year-old, whose family was infamously called “pathetic” by Dance Moms' choreographer Abby Lee Miller, was allegedly in a crash on June 27 when she drove her car into a tree on a road in Murrysville, police said, per CBS News.

Responding authorities allegedly noticed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy and her speech was slurred, CBS News reported, citing court records.

Police alleged she "refused to submit to a blood draw to determine her blood alcohol content," per USA Today.

Lukasiak allegedly told police she’d had two glasses of wine that evening, per a criminal complaint cited by CBS News.
