California DUI for woman and boyfriend after hydrant crash – Caryl Walti, 47, was arrested for drunk driving by the California Highway Patrol after she crashed into a fire hydrant and power pole.

Pennsylvania DUI for mother and son – A sixteen year old from Perkasie was stopped by police in the early morning hours and charged with under-aged drinking and driving. He called his mother to pick him up but Tracy Patel, 42, showed up at police headquarters intoxicated and was charged with drunk driving in Pennsylvania after failing a field sobriety test.

The same police department dealt with a drunk woman in September 2005 who arrived at police headquarters and parked right next to patrol cars to pick up a friend who had been arrested earlier for driving under the influence.

And the very next month, the same police department charged a woman for DUI after she showed up drunk at police headquarters to pick up a man who had been arrested for Pennsylvania DUI.

And in December 2004, the same police department charged a man with DUI after he arrived to pick up his roommate who had been charged with drunk driving earlier in the evening.

One Ferrari, two men, two Washington DUI arrests – A California State Patrol plane spotted a 2005 Ferrari F430 speeding and weaving through traffic on the approach to the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge in Seattle. Troopers on the ground stopped the vehicle and charged the 35-year old driver with reckless driving and driving under the influence in Washington. The 31-year old owner of the car, who had been a passenger, was also intoxicated. He waited until a tow truck arrived and police left, however, and then dismissed the truck and drove off in his car. The State Patrol airplane was still overhead though and officers on the ground were alerted. The Ferrari was stopped a second time minutes later and the owner was charged with DUI. The Ferrari was impounded.
