you think your drivers license photo is bad? go have your glamour shot done at your local jail!
we'll see some real beauts here.
this lovely lady is from Ohio, she was arrested (thankfully!) driving drunk with little kids in the car. a tragedy averted. so we can laugh at her portrait.
LORAIN, Ohio - A woman who was driving with a blood alcohol content of more than three times the legal limit has been charged with multiple offenses, including Operating a Vehicle Impaired, Fox 8 News reports.
Mary Elizabeth Torres, 24, was pulled over by officers at the intersection of West 24th Street and Oberlin Avenue in Lorain at approximately 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Inside the 2000 Ford Taurus with Torres were three young passengers -- her 6-year-old niece and her two sons, ages 6 and 3. Child restraints and/or seat belts were not being used.
According to the Lorain Police Department's incident report, officers observed Torres failing to stop at a stop sign and then driving into an oncoming lane of traffic. At that point, the officers decided to execute a traffic stop.
When asked to produce identification, Torres was only able to mumble incoherently. The arresting officer noted that she seemed to be disoriented and was unable to make eye contact.
The officer also detected an overpowering smell of alcohol. When he asked Torres to step out of the vehicle, she nearly fell to the ground several times.
About the odor, Torres told the officer that she had "four shots of E&J about a half hour ago." However, in addition to being physically unstable, she was incapable of taking various field sobriety tests due to her high level of intoxication.
It was later discovered that Torres' Ohio driving privileges were under active OVI suspension for a prior conviction in 2008. Her mom was called to the scene to take custody of the kids.
After being placed under arrest, Torres was taken to the police station, where she was given a BAC test that indicated she was more than three times the legal limit (.258).
In addition to OVI, Torres has been charged with three counts of child endangering, three counts of child restraint system usage, driving under suspension, left of center and a stop sign violation. She is currently being held in the Lorain County Jail.
