I get a bunch. >> What was the What was the number? >> It was almost three times the legal limit, which was one of two things. Number one, >> you drank a lot more than you thought and it ended a lot later than you thought. Or number two, >> I drank a lot. >> Or number two, >> which happens a lot, people get really nervous when they talk to the police >> and sometimes people stretch the truth, >> fib lie a little bit. And we understand We don't take it personal. >> And if that's the only thing you lie to us about, that's a Listen, I'd still high five if you're like, but we like when people finally come and are honest. >> 1 2 3 4 >> Well, mostly for traffic control cuz it's a busy place. >> So, how much when was the last time you really did have a drink? Cuz that's >> 6 a.m. in the morning. >> So, 6:00 a.m. >> That's when you finish. >> I know. I put lunch tomorrow. >> Okay. >> I do. >> So, that's been wine. Okay. >> So, it's been 6 hours. >> So, assuming that's true, and again, I'm going have to use the word assuming because you said to us a little bit earlier, >> like that still is very high, which means you were like, so here, not a non-judgmentally, do you have a drinking problem? Cuz it's not that uncommon for people with drinking problems to have such a high elevated alcohol level. >> Yes, I'm sure I do. >> Like, do you are you an alcoholic? Do you drink all the time? >> Yes. >> Okay, gotcha. That that explains a little bit too. >> I did not do anything in the morning. time for me it was like okay I went back to bed I slept off >> so from 6 so >> Uhhuh. >> What time did you start drinking or did you literally just drink all day? >> No one on and off all day. >> I chopped blah blah blah. >> And how much of that of the bottle of captain did you go through?

I slept awfully >> slept and then when I got the six I had 1:00 got back to sleep, slept for like 9, got up. >> Mhm. >> Understandable. All right. >> So, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to be honest. Okay. >> I don't know if that's fact. >> No. So, listen. We prefer honesty regardless of what the outcome is. Makes our job easier. >> My husband saw her marinade. He's going to be >> Why would he be mad? The crash. >> The accident. I heard him on the phone now. I've never met him before. I don't know if he was just thinking it cuz it was on speaker phone, but he sounded genuinely nice, loving, and caring. >> Yeah. >> Just one more reason for me, but that was something that's going to be bad. >> So, did you guys argue about that? About your drinking issues? Okay. >> The officers couldn't believe the results of the test. It was clear that she had hit rock bottom, and there was no denying the seriousness of her actions. >> So, yeah. So, think of it this way. Let's just assume you're you're telling me the truth. You haven't lied at all about the 6:00 a.m. You stopped drinking 6 hours ago. >> Yes. >> And your alcohol level is three times the limit. So like it goes down approximately 0.15 per hour. I think >> I drink a lot. I drink a lot. Very happy. >> So 6 hours of not drinking and now it's at three times legal limit. How close were you to four times when you know, >> right? So >> I see what you're saying. >> Yeah. So these are all might be like you said, you think you have a drinking problem. Sounds like you know you have one, but you're just, you know, trying to >> It's hard. It's hard. It's hard to admit. >> Absolutely. >> So, maybe this is a rock bottom. Hitting a car is better than hitting a kid, right? >> Yes. >> So, >> and I wish it was just because I was drinking, but I hit it. It's not. It's This was back and forth, a lot of traffic, and cuz I was so careful about that. >> Do you not think it contributed it to at least 1%? >> A little bit. >> So, what percentage do you think just out of curiosity? Like, you're drinking allergy? >> Yeah. I mean, I I didn't mean to interrupt. I apologize. She did just say like, you know, I'm like, "Well, do you think the alcohol had anything to do with this?" And she said, "Of course." At least 1%. But >> of course. >> Um, >> but like for me, I'm always just so careful with everything else. >> Yeah. >> So, just to summarize, 1:30 p.m. yesterday, off and on, some drinking.

In the end, Mark McNeel was charged with driving under the influence with passengers, resisting an officer without violence and neglect. Moving on to the case of Tara Fritz, the entitled woman who caused a massive accident and thought her position as a teacher would get her off the hook. >> Can you look at this light for me? Mom, look right at me. >> Okay, turn around. >> Can't hit me. You know that, right? >> I'm a teacher. Like, I know. I know what it's like to deal with, but I'm sure he's an upstanding citizen. I can't wait to hear what he does. What do you think he does for a living? >> Does he teach kids with disabilities? >> On the 27th of June, 2023, police officers were dispatched to the scene of a car accident. Upon approaching the driver, later identified as Tara Fritz, they noticed her daughter was in the back seat [music] at the time of the incident. >> All right. Thank you. >> I'm just going to have an ambulance come check you guys out. Make sure you're okay. >> All right. >> Okay. You're all right, sweetie. We're going to make sure you're okay.

Did you lose consciousness? >> No. >> Who's baby girl's name? >> Bianca. >> Her name? >> Bianca. >> How you spell? >> E I A N C A. Tara was obviously intoxicated, but it was at this point that the officers would uncover the real reason behind her erratic behavior. >> Um, do you have the actual key to the car? >> Is it in there? >> Yeah. >> It's all right. We'll we'll grab it. Just wait right here. >> Just wait right here. I'm going to have you sign this meeting for your daughter. Okay. >> Yeah, I can look at my brother. Can you just leave?

This is like scary. I'm sorry. >> I'm scared right now. Like in my head, like this guy hit me in the car. >> Okay, come over here. >> Tara was given a sobriety test to determine her level of impairment. The results would quickly confirm [music] their worst suspicion. >> All right, so we're going to do a test. All right, it's called the walk and turn. All right. So, I want you to follow these instructions very closely. All right? Don't do them until I tell you to. All right? What I tell you to, you're going to first put your left foot on the line. We're going to create an imaginary line. All right? Or you you can even use this crack right here. Whatever you want to do, whatever works for you. All right? All right.

You put your hands together with your friend behind your back. All right. All right. She was then transported to the police station after the officers confirmed their suspicions. However, Tara still wouldn't admit her mistake. >> Where's my brother? My mom like I'm I'm just like he hit me. You know that, right? >> You You were turning though. >> He was going straight. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. You're the person driving straight has the right away.

In the end, Tara Fritz was charged with driving under the influence and endangerment. If you thought that was shocking, just wait until you hear about Rebecca Joins, the teacher who misled her students without considering the consequences of her actions. >> Hi, I'm looking for Rebecca. >> Yeah, it's me. >> So, you are under arrest at the moment. On the 15th of December 2021, police officers were called to the home of Rebecca Joins, a teacher who had reportedly been dating her students, one of whom became the father of her child. It was alleged that she deliberately gave all but one of the digits of her mobile phone number as a math problem [music] solving exercise, requiring her student to work out the final digit. If to her this was a clever way to hide her intentions, little did she know that her every move was being watched. >> Hello. Okay. >> Hi. Welcome for Rebecca. >> Yeah, it's me. Yeah, we're for a second. >> I'm not sure how much you know what's going on, but colleague just got something to >> So obviously given what's happened. I know you've been sent home from school today.

She was sentenced to 6 and 1/2 years in prison. And now on to the worst teacher ever, who was arrested in his own workplace after getting caught committing an unthinkable act. Anything illegal? Any gun bombs, grenades, IVs? Anything that's going to poke a stick or cut us? No. >> Bravo 23. >> Adult mail in custody. You'll have that time at a late later time. It doesn't happen now. Take this all down. >> [music] >> Where's your vehicle at? Located on the property. Uh, >> so they know.
