Dumb Former President Of MADD Arrested For Drunk Driving

TruTVMarch 3, 2011 //

Here’s the rules: If you’re a teenage chastity advocate the one thing you really can’t do is get pregnant. If you’re a member of P.E.T.A. the one thing you really can’t do is kick your dog. And if you were ever the president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving the one thing you really can’t do is get busted behind the wheel with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.

One of these people forgot the rules.

Debra Oberlin of Gainesville, FL, a former president of M.A.D.D., was charged with a DUI after being pulled over for allegedly swerving back and forth across the road. Police report she had watery, bloodshot and dilated eyes and regsitered a blood alcohol level of .239. Read more… Keep reading »

Christina Aguilera Arrested For Public Intoxication

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 1, 2011 //

Wuh woh. Looks like those anonymous sources may be right about Christina Aguilera being totally out of control and headed for rehab. Last night at 2:45 a.m. she and her new boy toy, Matthew Rutler, were pulled over in West Hollywood. Matthew was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Apparently, Christina was in even worse shape. The sheriff’s deputy says that she was “extremely intoxicated” and “unable to take care of herself.” So she was taken into custody and spent the night in jail. It’s unclear whether she will be charged today. Sure seems like Matthew may be Christina’s version of Kevin Federline. Will celebrities ever learn—if you’re snookered, call a cab. Sheesh.

A 12-Year-Old Girl Charged With Drunk Driving. Yes, You Read That Right.

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comAugust 13, 2010 //

And you thought the news couldn’t get more insane than Donald Duck groping a woman at Disney World? Ha. Apparently, a 12-year-old girl in Minnesota has been charged with drunk driving. The girl met a 19-year-old boy at a party where both were drinking. And for some reason, this guy asked the girl to drive him home. She obliged and on the way, mistook the gas pedal for the brake. She hit a highway sign before skidding into a yard. The 19-year-old then came to his senses and grabbed the wheel, steering them into a shed. Amazingly, no one was seriously hurt. But when the cops arrived, they had a lot of head scratching to do. Cause there’s not really a law for this one on the books. However, there is a possibility that the girl’s mom will be charged with drunk driving, too. I also hope the 19-year-old gets in some trouble here. All the more proof that calling a taxi when you’re drunk is awesome. [Newser] Keep reading »

Woman To Be Charged With Killing Own Fetus After Starting A Drunken High Speed Chase

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 14, 2010 //

Here’s another one for “Sick, Sad World.” A 21-year-old woman in Georgia, Jessica Bruce, was clocked doing 85 mph in a 65 mph zone on Wednesday night. A police vehicle turned on its lights, but Jessica refused to pull over, starting a high speed chase. The chase ended with her hitting a car, spinning into oncoming traffic, and causing a pile-up. All signs point to her being drunk at the time of the incident. Jessica is physically fine; however, the baby she was carrying isn’t. Once she is released from the hospital, authorities plan to charge her with “feticide by vehicle,” which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail. Another driver involved in the crash is in the hospital, too. This case is sad on so many levels. All I have to say is, taking the speeding ticket would have been a much, much better idea.

Ugh. Snooki Charged In Friend’s Drunk Driving Death In ’04

Jessica WakemanMarch 19, 2010 //

Even the deaf and blind know Snooki likes her booze. But yesterday RadarOnline.com revealed exclusively that my favorite “Jersey Shore” guidette was criminally charged in the 2004 drunk driving death of one of her classmates. Ugh! According to Radar, Snooks (neé Nicole Polizzi) hosted a drinking party in her mom’s basement the night before Thanksgiving in 2004 and she sold alcohol to minors. Sadly, one of her guests, Marlboro High School senior Michael Truncali, died early Thanksgiving morning after leaving her house and was found to have a blood alcohol level over twice the legal limit.

Alexandra Kerry, 36, the eldest daughter of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, was arrested last night for allegedly driving drunk. The LAPD said Kerry was stopped on a Hollywood street at 12:40 a.m., failed a sobriety test and was charged with a DUI. [AP] Come on, Alexandra Kerry! Even the Bush twins didn’t get themselves arrested. Well, if this turns out to be true, maybe Alexandra will come around and be glad she got busted before she got behind the wheel and killed someone.

Girl Talk: Why I’m Glad I Got A DUI

adminNovember 16, 2009 //

When I heard this weekend that Shayne Lamas, the gal who snagged Matt Grant in season 12 of “The Bachelor,” was the latest reality star to get busted for behind-the-wheel booziness, I groaned but was hardly surprised. Her arrest was as predictable as Stephanie Pratt’s a mere few weeks before. Yet reading both girls’ shocked, defensive responses to their ordeals—But I only had two drinks! I was practically sober!—I found myself cringing with a pang of empathy. See, a few years ago, just shy of my 21st birthday, I got pulled over for a broken taillight after having a not-yet-legal glass of wine at a dinner party. When the officer asked if I’d be drinking, I reacted the exact same way these two did. As a Dean’s List student at a top college who volunteered at the local children’s hospital, I thought I could do no wrong. I rattled off these accomplishments to the cop, sure that he’d let me off the hook. “Basically,” I said, no doubt looking and sounding like the naïve blonde sorority girl I was, “I am not the type of person who drinks and drives.” Except that, according to the Breathalyzer, I was.

Woman Calls 911 To Report A Drunk Driver—Herself

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 3, 2009 //


This video is kind of amazing. Listen to the 911 call from Mary Strey, a 49-year-old woman in Missouri, who called to report a drunk driver on the road. “Are you behind them?” asks the operator. “No, I am them,” replied Mary. “Well, do you want to stop driving before you get in an accident?” asked the operator. Luckily, she does. Oh, but that’s not all. Watch long enough to hear from a Michigan police officer who called 911 to report that he and a few buddies had stolen some pot they confiscated from a criminal. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead. I really do,” he said. After last week’s 911 call from a woman who just wanted to ask a cop out on a date, we’re starting to think someone should build an entire reality show around hilariously bulls**t 911 calls.

Car Crashes Into Couple’s Bedroom While They Sleep

Ami AngelowiczOctober 29, 2009 //

What is the worst possible way to be woken up from your slumber at 4 a.m.? By a car crashing into your bed! No, this is not a cockamamie plot from a Hollywood action film; this is a real-life nightmare. Last week, University of Nevada students Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood were sleeping soundly when they were awoken by a car crashing through their bedroom window. At first they thought it was an earthquake, but soon discovered it was a car when they were engulfed in motor fluid and metal. Fearing an explosion or permanent paralyzation, they waited anxiously at first, and then they tried to stay calm while emergency workers freed them with chainsaws. Miraculously, they were able to wiggle out from under the car and did not sustain any serious injuries. How? They say they owe it to the saggy-ness of their bed—it prevented their bodies from being crushed.
