Camera footage showed Roundtree leaving a parking garage as she followed a friend's car out of the parking garage to avoid paying the fee, according to documents. She then steered heavily left and right on a left turn when she crashed into the patio.
One of the victims on the patio was seriously hurt, docs say; the others injured were not.
Roundtree admitted to police she had had one drink and was driving recklessly.
