First part of story stated no one was injured, update has dui resulting in injury to another person?
That is why it is called an “update”
Good eye! I called and the press release is being corrected. I’ve put strike throughs on the incorrect part.
DUI at 10;30 a.m.? That says it all.
It was also a stolen vehicle. The word is turd.
Get help, lady. Someone could’ve been killed.
A little big to be running from the law. Or not.
So was she drunk from the night before, or did she get an early start?
She’s a horrible driver.
By the looks of her she has a problem. Probably wakes up drunk and starts back at it. By her charges she off sets her drinking with other drugs ie meth etc. She will probably get probation in the mean time someone had their car stolen and wreaked so will have to pay money out for deductible etc. At what point will people get it. Actually hold people accountable with prison and make prison a place people do not want to go.
Do you believe that prison is too pleasant currently?
Honestly it’s about time they locked her up. she has been terrorizing shelter cove to garbersville for several years now. She has conned people into helping her and then she steals everything she can from you. It amazes me how many people she has conned into helping her and then she completely ripped them off. then manage to find somebody else to use. She drinks, pops pills, and I think meth too. She’s so toxic if someone sees her we post it on Facebook. That way everyone in the community knows where she is, what she’s driving, and what color her hair is. She tries to change her appearance so she’s not recognized!
