Where where you come from tonight? >> I come from the dinner. My birthday. >> Where? >> I I do everything. You do it. >> I understand. >> Come on. >> All right. >> Most people celebrate their 48th birthday with cake and candles. But this lady decided to celebrate by swerving all over the road. On June 12th, 2026, Boca Raton officers spotted [music] a silver Tesla performing a creative dance across traffic lanes. It turns out happy [music] birthday was the only phrase she remembered using it like a get out of jail free card that definitely didn't work. By the end of the night her big gift was a pair of shiny metal bracelets. >> How you doing? >> Hi. >> I'm Officer Cooper D Beach Police Department. >> Yes. >> The reason I pulled you over, you're making a lot of evasive moves. >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm okay. It's my birthday. I'm sorry. >> It's your birthday. >> Yeah. Where are you coming from tonight? >> I come to the hotel. >> What hotel? >> Uh, the hotel YS. >> Elray. >> The what? >> Elray. >> The Elray. Yeah. What's the Lray? >> It's right there. The new one hotel. >> Where? >> Um, >> two blocks over. >> It's two blocks there. I go over there. >> Right to Brule Beastro. >> Okay. Where are you coming from today? >> What? >> Where are you coming from? >> It's her birthday. It's my birthday, >> sir. I'm talking to her. >> Stop. I'm drive. I'm driving.

What city? >> Delray. >> Okay. Okay. >> You have your license on you? Yeah. >> And your registration insurance. >> The officer pulled her over for making more evasive moves than a ninja. But she [music] just kept repeating it was her birthday. Like that explains away the zigzagging. She struggled to even name the hotel she was staying at which is a massive red [music] flag. That lady was clearly on a different planet. It's a one of classic case of grown women and their birthdays who think the world stops just for them. >> Here's the choice. I can't I can't give it to you because this for Tesla. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't maybe can't see you right here. >> Okay. All right. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Give me one second. Okay. >> Okay. No problem. Can I ask you something? Do you have any medical issues? >> What? >> Medical issues? >> What do you mean >> medical issues? >> No. No. It's my birthday. No. >> No medical issues. >> No. No. No. No. No. Sir, sir. It's not I I go I go for have fun. I swear to God. >> And a long time ago, I have fun. >> Okay. >> You know, long time ago, nothing. It's like I go because my my my air conditioner is broken. I got this car. I say, "Let's go." Okay. >> Like, >> okay, >> give me one second. All right. I'll be right back. >> Hey, how y'all doing? >> Good. >> Where y'all coming from tonight? >> Uh, it's our birthday and we're just going to go back to our place. >> Okay. Where'd you guys come from? >> Delray. >> But like, did you guys go out eating? Did you guys >> Yeah, we ate. Yeah, we ate. >> Where'd you guys eat at? >> Um, right next door to uh >> I think it was I don't know. There was some place >> where that old bookstore was. >> The colony or whatever or colonial. >> It was a Korean barbecue. Remember where the old Korean barbecue was? >> I think so. Yeah. >> It's her birthday. >> Oh, well. Happy birthday to you. Oh, thank you so much. >> My brother, we've been doing um >> Do you go to I don't I don't go out for so long. >> What is it? >> I don't go out for so long. I go out tonight because my birthday. >> It's your birthday? >> Yeah. My My >> June 11. >> Yeah, June 11. >> When the officer asked about medical issues, she pivoted back to the birthday script, swearing she was just out to have fun after a long time. But the celebration did not excuse careless driving or unclear answers. She seemed more interested in showing off her fancy rental car than providing a license. [music] It's wild how some people think a shiny car and a special date make them invisible to the flashing blue lights. >> My car >> Oh, yeah. It's already generated. >> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. The car is the car had problem uh the air conditioner. I got this uh they give it to me. >> You What is it? I'm sorry. I have another I have another car. >> You have another car? >> Yeah. He gave that for me because I need to fix it. The the >> Okay. >> The air conditioner. >> I think this is the what is it called? Plate or plate. >> It's amazing. >> Yeah. I see the steering wheel. It's the funny one. >> Oh my god. It's amazing. >> Nice. >> It is sweet. >> Really? >> I believe you see the whites and silver. >> The whites. Yeah. You always see a white Tesla, you know. Either white or black. >> No. No. My car is a white. I always car white. Do you have a Tesla as well? >> Oh, isn't >> nice. What do you have? >> I have I have a um uh it's the same S. >> Oh, you have the Model S, too. Nice. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Nice. >> Birthday. >> It's her birthday. >> Stop. Stop. Don't go. Don't take it out. Yeah, >> that was tonight. >> Yeah, tonight. >> Oh, nice. Where do you guys go? I go where this across >> you went to an uh >> across right >> across the street. >> Yeah, across the street where I stay colonial. >> I go I go look. >> Nice. Beautiful family. >> Oh, thank you so much. Yeah. Yeah. Uh this house. >> Oh, you got some Rialtos or >> Yeah, this house right there. Uh close to >> She literally just turned 48 and >> stop. I used to live on 11th Northwest 7th. >> Okay. >> Yeah, sure. >> How you doing, Melissa? >> Yeah, honey. >> All right. Uh, can you do me a favor and just step out the vehicle for me? >> Yeah, sure. >> We're just going to go over here. Okay. >> Yeah. just stand over there. >> The happy birthday vibes were officially over when they asked her to step out of the vehicle because it was time for the fun to meet the cold, hard reality of the sidewalk. Standing under the street lights, she admitted to having two glasses of wine, which everyone knows is code [music] for I finished the bottle. >> Yeah. Sidewalk. All righty. So, right now you're showing me signs of impairment. You have fossy eyes. I can smell the alcohol. >> Um, I mean, have you been drinking tonight? I know you said it was your birthday. >> Yes, it's my birthday. >> Uh-huh. Have you been drinking? >> Yeah, I drink like uh two glasses of wine. >> Two glasses of wine? >> No. >> When's the last time you had a glass of wine? >> Right now, >> huh? >> Right now? >> Right now? >> Yeah. >> What do you mean right now? >> Uh, before? Like what time do you think? Do you know what time it is? >> Almost like 2:00. >> It's 2:00. Okay. Do you know what today is? >> Yeah. It's 12 right now. Before is 11. My birthday. >> So, it's the 12th. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And you said you had two glasses of wine. >> Yeah. >> Give me one second. Watch me. >> All right. >> Yes, sir. >> You said you had two glasses of wine. >> Yeah. So, >> okay. On a scale of 1 through 10, right? One being sober, 10 being really drunk. How drunk are you? >> Me? At all? No. I know everything that's >> on a scale of 1 through 10. One being sober, 10 being very drunk. How drunk are you? >> Me? Two. >> A two. >> Three. >> A three? >> I think two. >> Yeah, I know. >> Two or three? Which one? >> Yeah. Who? Like two. >> Two. Okay. And remember I told you the reason I stopped you, right? >> Yeah. >> You were all over the road. You would go fast, slow down. >> What happened? Hen >> and I wanted to do a welfare check on you and then I noticed the impairment. >> I'm sorry I say that because the guy he got >> Who is that to? >> Jealous. >> Who is that? >> This is this I I I have kids together. Oh, so that you're >> Yeah. almost 12 years together. Child's father, >> you know, have together. Yeah. For so long. >> You know, the guys get jealous. He got jealous, but >> Okay. >> Always always go out, always got jealous. >> She rated herself a three on the drunk scale, which was a brave admission considering she was swaying like a palm tree in a hurricane. She then tried to blame her bad driving on her jealous boyfriend, [music] proving that this idiot could have killed someone while playing relationship games. >> I know who I am. >> Okay, >> I know. >> I I complet it. I know who I am. I know my sign. I know where I am, you know, because I pass everything. I do it before. >> Okay. >> I never want to do before. >> Okay. >> You know. >> All righty. So right now I'm going to ask you know to dispel my fears that you are intoxicated. I'm going to ask you to do a series of sign a series of tasks. >> Are you willing to submit to those tasks? >> No. >> You don't want to do the task? >> Yeah, I can do it. >> So you you you're willing to submit? Okay. Yeah. >> Is English your first Is your first language? >> Portuguese, Spanish, and English. >> You but you understand English and you're okay speaking English and everything? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. All right. >> You can see my eyes. >> Okay. So, where did you go to dinner tonight? >> I go to dinner the um I don't know the the hotel. The new hotel. >> The new hotel? >> Yeah. I uh like where you stay? >> Uh uh sushi. >> A sushi. You went to a sushi lounge? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And is that where you had your drinks? >> Yeah. >> Okay. How long ago was that? >> Uh almost like a uh like I drink it almost like an hour. >> Yeah. So, what time? It's >> like 10. >> 10. >> Yeah. >> So, 10:00. So, that's when you had your last drink at 10:00. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. So, I'm going to ask you to do a series of tasks. Are you willing to do the task? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think >> Give me one second. All right. Do you have any problems with your eyes? >> I have a glass. Uh, >> you wear glasses? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Are you wearing contacts? >> No. >> You're not wearing contacts? Okay. >> No. >> Are you able to see? I mean, you were driving. >> I can't see. Yeah, I can I can I I know can see uh >> far away. >> You can't see far away. Okay. But you can see up close. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> 100%. No, don't worry about that. >> Do you have any physical defects? >> No. >> Okay. >> No. No. No. No. No. >> Are you sick or injured? >> No. >> Are you Are you under the care of any doctor? >> No. >> I'm very good. I'm telling you. I know where I am right now. I'm different level. You know what I mean? >> You're on a different level. >> Yes. Okay. >> Yeah. >> She claimed she was on a different level, and honestly, she wasn't lying. She [music] was definitely hovering somewhere above the legal limit. She agreed to the field sobriety tests, [music] confident that her different level of consciousness would help her pass. Little did she know, the officer's pen was about to expose exactly how much fun she had actually consumed at that sushi lounge. >> Different level. I know what you say, where you you everything you you say right now. You know what I mean? I'm come to have fun. I bring my son >> to have have I have a dinner everything you know when I have a little little fun. I know my my husband drink. He's alcoholic. >> Okay. >> You know what I mean? He can put in the name. He's alcohol. >> Do you take any medicines or drugs? >> No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't worry about me. >> All right. Just do me a favor. Step over here. >> Stand together with your feet together, hands by your side. All right. Is this too much? Is this too bright? >> No. >> Okay. And you can see? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. I'm going to check your eyes. All right. You're going to keep your head still and you're going to follow the pen. Do you know what color this pen is? >> One. >> All right. The light's white. Hang on. Make it >> better. Yellow. >> Is that better? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What color is the pen? You see? >> Oh, black. >> Okay. Okay. Yeah, it's black. Perfect. All right. All right. You're going to keep your head still and you're going to follow the pen with your eyes only. All right. Do not move your head. Do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. And you're just going to follow the pen. Okay. >> Okay. Sir, >> do not move your head. >> Left, right, left, right. >> Don't move your head. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Don't move your head. Yes. >> Don't move. Don't move your head. Okay. All right. >> It's my birthday. >> The eye test was a total disaster. She kept moving her head despite being told a dozen times to keep it still. It's a pen, honey, not a tennis match. Her inability to follow simple instructions was a clear sign that the wine was definitely winning the battle. She kept dropping the birthday line like a broken record, [music] hoping the officer would suddenly develop amnesia and let her go. >> Supposed to take it. >> You may begin now. >> Yeah. >> Hey sir, stop. Oh, okay. you warm. >> You want to take off your jacket? >> It's okay. >> Okay. >> It's okay, sir. >> 25. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Give me one second. >> I can do it. I can do it. >> One second. >> I can do it. I know. I know. I am. It's like, >> do you understand? >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Stop. >> All right. >> No, no. I haven't had problem face. I had a sign 8 years ago. >> All right. >> Like that. Wait. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> No. No. No. We We move past that. Okay. We're on a different one. Okay. >> I'm going to go I'm going to I'm going to go I'm going to go sleep. >> Happy birthday for me. >> All right. Face me. >> Face me. >> All right. I'm going to do another one. All right. Step. Stop right there. >> All right. You're going to put your arms out like an airplane and you're going to lean over at the wing. >> Put your feet together. Feet together. >> Together. >> All right. There you go. >> And then put your arms out like an airplane. All right. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. All right. Right now, you're going to be placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. Okay. >> No. >> All righty. >> What would you like to do with your car? >> What you do there? Cuz I have reason to believe that you are driving under the influence. >> No, don't do that. Don't I have a son? It's my birthday. My birthday. >> Don't do that, please. >> I I do everything you do it. >> The officer finally dropped the hammer and placed her under arrest for DUI. Suddenly, [music] the happy birthday mantra turned into desperate pleas. She begged him not to do it, claiming she did everything he asked. It's a bit late for that, honey. [music] You know your boyfriend is a keeper when he makes you drive drunk on your birthday instead of calling an Uber. The shiny handcuffs were her only birthday present this year. >> I understand. >> Come on. >> All right. >> Don't do that. I didn't do nothing. >> This officer going to talk to you in a second. >> Hello, I don't do nothing. I have no time. I I got the car because my son >> Hi, I'm officer of the Dervation Police Department. Do you have anything on you that could hurt me, poke me, or prick me in any way? >> Hey, honey. >> No, >> it's my birthday. I go >> It's your birthday. Okay. >> Yeah. >> I don't know why you putting I do everything he he say that. >> Okay. >> Why you you putting me in jail for nothing? >> All right. >> Come on. Don't do that. I have done. It's my birthday. >> All right. Just face away from me real quick. Thank you. >> Open the door. >> I'll open the door. I guess you can go ahead and get out of the car. Just face that way for me. I'm not going to search it. Just face that way. >> Yeah. >> I'll do whatever it takes. >> Yeah. Whatever it takes. >> Yeah. Right. >> Awesome. >> You know how to get there? >> Yeah. >> Which way? >> Yeah. You know how to get there though? >> Yeah. >> How? >> Do not take her. Please do not. >> She's going to jail. So now we got to get you home safe. >> We just have to get you back. You have no Please don't do this. Please, please. >> You can't do anything. >> You know what's the thing, brother? We're way past that and that's not our decision. There is an officer who conducted an investigation. >> It's her birthday. >> I understand it's her birthday, >> but you can't do this. Can't >> Why you do that? Is it safe? Captain, this is so nice. You said do nothing. Yeah. Do everything you say. >> Come on. >> The ring's you. >> Oh, come on. >> She even pulled the I don't [music] smoke, I don't do nothing line. Honey, we can smell the wine from here. She was shocked that she was going to jail, acting like it was her first time, even though records show this was her third DUI arrest. Some people never learn. Not only should she be charged for drunk [music] driving, but she needs a charge for those surgeries, too. Nothing about this situation was natural. >> I don't smoke. I don't expect >> I changed everything. You put me at me, >> ma'am. >> Is it second times me so you want to you want me to bring your phone with you? Do you have a purse or a wallet? >> Hold on. Hold on. In the end, this birthday bash ended in the back of a police cruiser. It's truly pathetic to see a 48-year-old woman with three DUIs still acting like the law is a suggestion. [music] She had every chance to be a responsible parent, but instead she chose to put everyone on the road in danger. Money can buy a Tesla and a fancy dinner, but it clearly can't buy common sense or a conscience. Melissa was officially hit with a DUI charge. [music] She was hauled off to the Orange County Jail, though she managed to secure her freedom pretty quickly with a $1,000 bond. Now she has to face a judge in Palm Beach County, where her birthday excuse probably won't hold much weight. Driving under the influence is a serious [music] crime, and having a history of it makes her a ticking time bomb on the road. Was she a victim of a jealous boyfriend [music] or just another entitled driver who thinks the rules don't apply? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. To see more wild body cam recaps and entitlement towers crumbling, [music] check out the videos on the screen. Don't let your birthday be the reason you end up in handcuffs. Stay [music] safe and stay sober.
