Police: Woman drives drunk, spits on officer

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I am not sure there is anything worse than a drunk, but maybe a spitting drunk will make me change my mind.   Lock ‘er up and put her in one of those spit hoods for a couple days and that’ll cure that!

WILLISTON, Vt. (AP) — Police said they had their hands full with a drunken driving suspect who allegedly struggled during her arrest, spat on an officer and later tried to bolt from a hospital emergency room. The woman, 22, was pulled over about 3 a.m. Saturday after police saw her driving with no lights on and in an erratic fashion. After registering .144 on a blood-alcohol content test, she allegedly spat on a police officer and was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care after complaining of back pain.

Police said she was disorderly with ER personnel there and tried to flee.

The woman was charged with DUI, assault on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct.

Woman who demanded conjugal visit charged with DUI

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Another fine example of stupidity in Florida!  I guess if you can’t get your conjugal visit it’s better to get caught and get three hots and a cot for a DUI!   Way to go, unfortunately no one told this lady jails aren’t coed.

BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) — A woman was charged with driving under the influence after showing up at the Flagler County jail and demanding a conjugal visit with a specific inmate. The sheriff’s office reports that a 45-year-old woman had a visitation appointment but was turned away because she was late. Also, the jail does not allow conjugal visits.

The woman drove away but reportedly returned a short time later. Jail guards called road patrol, because they suspected the woman had been drinking.

Deputies found the woman sitting in her car. She reportedly failed a field sobriety test, and a breath test showed her blood-alcohol content was 0.256 percent. Florida law considers a person impaired at 0.08.

The woman was charged with DUI and later released on $500 bail.

Woman calls 911 to report herself as drunk driver

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Don’t mess with me, I am drunk, driving and not afraid to turn myself in.  This lady did just exactly that, talk about weird.

NEILSVILLE, Wis. (AP) — The call came into the 911 dispatcher: “I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m drunk.” And with that, Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, reported herself as a drunken driver about three miles northeast of Neilsville in central Wisconsin.

Clark County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jim Backus said Monday that Strey’s call on Oct. 24 led deputies to cite her for misdemeanor drunken driving with a blood-alcohol level double the legal limit to drive. She makes her first court appearance Dec. 10.

Backus said drunken drivers reporting themselves is rare.

In the 911 call, Strey said she wanted to report a drunken driver and the dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle. “I am them,” Strey said. She then followed the dispatcher’s advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been “drinking all night long.”

Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

This guy is an innovator, how cool to have made a motorized La-Z-Boy with stereo and cupholder.  It’s too bad he chose beer to use in the cupholder and of course there is the running into a parked car bit.   Can’t we give him some sort of prize before he does time?

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors say Anderson’s blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.
