The warden at the women's prison south of Boise has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, prompting the state prison agency to put her on administrative leave.

The Meridian Police Department arrested Warden Terressa Baldridge on Friday morning and booked her into the Ada County Jail.

Baldridge has been an Idaho Department of Correction employee since 1992 and has led the South Boise Women's Correctional Center in Kuna since her promotion last year.

Jeff Ray, an Idaho Department of Correction spokesman, said he couldn't comment beyond giving Baldridge's employment status because this is a personnel matter.

According to Ada County jail records, Baldridge has been released from custody.
