TOWN OF MONROE, Wis. — A Monticello woman left the scene of a crash that left her vehicle in a cow pasture early Thursday morning, according to a release from the Green County Sheriff’s Office.

She was also cited for failure to maintain control, criminal operating after revocation, operating without insurance, and failure to notify law enforcement of a crash.
