Smiley 5 11-year-old charged with driving drunk in Alabama

11-year-old charged with driving drunk in Alabama
July, 2007
Quote:
MIAMI (Reuters) - An 11-year-old girl was charged with drunken driving after leading police on a chase at speeds of up to 100 mph that ended when she flipped the car in an Alabama beach town.
A video camera in the police car captured the look of surprise on the officer's face when he approached the wrecked car and got a look at the motorist.
The Mobile Press-Register newspaper said the patrolman saw the Chevrolet Monte Carlo speeding and flashed his lights to signal the driver to stop. Instead, the car sped faster, travelling at up to 100 mph (160 kph) before sideswiping another vehicle and flipping over in the Gulf Coast town of Orange Beach, Alabama, on Tuesday night.
The young driver, who lived nearby in Perdido Key, Florida, was treated at a hospital for scrapes and bruises and released to relatives. Police also charged her with speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and reckless endangerment.
The car belonged to a relative and police were still trying to find out where she got the alcohol. There was none in the vehicle but her blood alcohol level was over the limit for adult motorists, police told the newspaper.

WOW, I thought I was bad when I was a kid, but 11 years old is scary! I wonder what is wrong with our nation's children anymore...something deeper going on here as I see it.

When I was 13 (1968 ), I drank myself into a stupor on my grandfather's homemade rhubarb wine. When I was 15 (1970) I almost died from alcohol poisoning from drinking a stash of vodka a friend and I found. I had friends growing up that drank as much or more than I did. Many of them are dead today. Lucky I survived.

Between 1981 and 1984 I was arrested
26 times for public intoxication and three times for DUI. Quit all that stupid stuff in 1986 for 18 years, but now I drink an occasional beer....import dark beer only.
So this isn't a "new" problem, not by a long-shot.

Where do you think he got the beer from.

I did an internship with the state excise police here in Indiana when I first graduated from college. We walked into a bar in one small town and found a 14 year old kid having a beer at the bar. The officer I was with said that was youngest kid he has ever found in a bar drinking. He shut the bar down and I beleive the owner lost his liquor license.

We also worked the Indy 500 that year, I was with 3 plain clothes excise cops and 2 uniformed state troopers. We were standing outside the entrance of the snake pit. That's were all the naked parties happen, anyway there was this young girl manning the entrance to one of the gates. We saw this guy walk up with a beer and handed it to this girl and she started drinking it. She was right beside all the cops. They asked the girl her age and she didn't hesitate to tell us she was 16. lol It kind of shocked all of us that she would be so bold about it. She was arrested with her friend.

I have all kinds of story's like this. It's amazing what cops see and have to go through.

My husband tells me stories all the time about when he was young (12-16) and they used to sneak liquor from his mom and dad while they were partying. It's hard for me to understand cause my parents weren't drinkers and when I got older (16-21) - I had the fear of my dad in me, never would have thought about it! He always seemed to know what we were thinking before we did it! Now that I have a 13 year old, I'm beginning to see where that 6th sense comes from!! LOL
