In a ton of ...
Saturday, February 27, 2010

Another drunk driver got pulled over by police recently for swerving all over the road and then almost hitting the center median.

She had no idea why the officer was stopping her and then had no idea where her purse was. She began looking for it after the officer asked for her driver’s license. Turns out the purse was under her feet on the driver’s side floorboard.

The officer then asked where she as coming from and she said Mount Pleasant. Since they were in Mount Pleasant the officer asked her where. She said a bar but she could not remember the name of it.

The officer asked her if she’d been drinking and she said she had a few. When asked her what her name was, she replied but the officer could not understand what she was saying. Too bad for her because the officer then asked her to write her name and date of birth down. She wrote down half of her name and even that was barely legible.

When asked her to step out of the car, she stumbled around until she finally gained her balance. Her clothes were all disheveled and she looked to be one hot mess.

“I am not that drunk,” she said. Then the officer asked her if she was sober and she said “no.”

Poor choice of words for her.

At any rate, the officer asked her what level of education she had and she replied that she was a teacher. With that being said she should have easily been able to recite the alphabet from D to R. But most of what she said was unrecognizable and she started with A all three times and never ended in R. The officer went on to perform some other tests, which she failed.

On the last one, as she was swaying, her car started rolling forward. The woman forgot to put it in park. To make matters worse, she lost her balance so bad that she almost tumbled over the guard rail on the side of the road. At this point the officer arrested her.

Her only response was that she was “sad because she was in a ton of $&^%.”

She told the officer she should not have been driving, which set her up for a cut and dry case in court.
