A woman caught driving drunk told police she knew she shouldn’t be behind the wheel. She was three times over the limit when stopped.
Lincoln: A 51-year-old woman named Samantha Parker was caught driving while three times over the legal limit. It all went down on November 30, 2024, when a bystander noticed her swerving on the road.
The witness saw her pull into a petrol station near McDonald’s, grab a bottle of vodka, and take a sip before hitting the road again. Luckily, an officer stopped her just in time.
When the police officer approached, Parker admitted she parked because she “knew she couldn’t drive.” She even confessed to having too much to drink. Talk about being honest!
After blowing a staggering 111 in custody, which is way over the legal limit of 35, she faced the music in court. Parker was banned from driving until December 2026 and has to do 40 hours of community service along with a nine-month alcohol treatment program.
PC Chloe Gwilliam, who looked into the case, praised the public for reporting her. She reminded everyone that if you see someone driving under the influence, don’t hesitate to call the police. They have a hotline available 24/7 for such reports.
