A 31-year-old woman driving a passenger car made an illegal turn at New York and Woodland in DeLand early one November morning. A DeLand police officer set off the lights and siren on his patrol car and got behind her. Her evening/morning was not going well.

The scofflaw tried to pull into the parking lot at a hamburger restaurant nearby. Her front passenger-side tire crashed into the curb, and she entered the restaurant’s drive-thru lane going the wrong way. The car stopped “in the middle of the drive thru.”

A records check of the car’s license plate showed that the tag had expired in July. Uh-oh.

When the police officer spoke with the driver, “an odor of alcohol [was] emitting from her facial region.”

Another DeLand police officer arrived and saw an “alcoholic seltzer can in the center console of” Wrong-Way Curb Crasher’s car.

Plus, she couldn’t seem to come up with proof of insurance.

When asked if she would perform field sobriety exercises, Wrong-Way Curb Crasher wavered between refusing and agreeing.

And Wrong-Way Curb Crasher went back and forth on whether she’d provide a breath sample to determine alcohol content. She finally decided not to comply.

One of the DeLand officers placed her under arrest on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as well as citing her for failure to obey a traffic control device and for having an expired tag.

You might say Wrong-Way Curb Crasher’s first mistake was getting drunk, but if you ask me (and you haven’t) I think her big mistake was making a turn at Woodland and New York.
