How many times drunk driving, >> Mary? How many times? Hold tight. She flunked every sobriety test, no debate, yet kept insisting she hadn't touched a drop or popped anything.

So, she's been out here for a couple days. Even locked up in cuffs, her energy was pure chaos. Cops didn't budge for her emotional theatrics. If anything, the extra antics made her look even messier. She had a shot to handle it like an adult, but nah, she went full toddler mode, leaning hard into every childish stunt in the book. >> Who do you want him to take the blood from? >> None of them. >> Oh, it's happening. >> You're done with your phone. >> Actually, no.

[Music] At the hospital, she kept resisting and the tension just skyrocketed. But the officers stayed sharp, controlled, and prioritize safety over drama. Evidence was stacked. Drunk driving with a kid, plus fighting with cops, no shot at a free pass. Lesson learned quick, refused to cooperate, and a little mess can snowball into a serious felony faster than you can say handcuffs. Mary Joe was convicted of a fourth offense owi with a passenger under 16 and battery to a law enforcement officer. Her refusal to submit to a chemical test was deemed unreasonable. She was sentenced to 1.5 years in state prison, one year in local jail, 3 years probation, had her driver's license revoked for 6 years and was fined over $2,200.
