Skittles? She's lucky she wasn't shot dead the first time.

When she's completely sloshed, the part in her hair moves to the far right (from our perspective).

She reminds me of the ultra tan woman.

2009 arrest:

"Police received a complaint about 9:30 a.m. Monday from a driver who noticed a sport utility vehicle swerving near West Jefferson Boulevard and Getz Road."

2012 arrest:

"Frank smelled of alcohol, and her behavior made a store clerk concerned, according to court documents."

Seems like this lady wouldn't have a problem if people would just mind their own damn business. I'm sure her being a minor celebrity while people live their shiat lives and work their shiat jobs really rubs some folks the wrong way. Mary is obviously a hard core alcoholic, which is entirely her business, so these .14s aren't affecting her as they would a lightweight. Just leave her the fark alone and quit being jealous.

If you pay attention you'll notice if a news articles involve a male offender then it have a Dumbass tag. If it's a female offender then it get a Sad or Interesting tag.

The way I see it, a Dumbass is a Dumbass, regardless of the gender.

Harry Freakstorm: Years and years ago, when I worked at a bank, one of the clerks who used to be a teller said they got an empty beer can in the carrier after the transaction and the guy pushed the Call button and said "Please dispose of that for me."

Years and years ago it was legal to drink and drive. Kudos to the driver for not littering.

FTFA: "...officers took her to the Allen County Lockup and administered a certified breath test at 5:08 p.m., which showed she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent..."

1.75 is nearly 2.00. Math is hard.

The One True TheDavid		2012-06-28 02:08:45 PM

Another example of "Too Stupid To Live."

Silly news anchor: you chug the wine where nobody can see you, preferably while not driving.

Why should people so stupid be allowed to breathe our air?

Either way, I claim her as muh woman.

Walgreen's wine = twist off cap. Betcha.

She just saved the network brass a lot of grief. Now they can make the cute 23-year-old reporter the new anchor without worrying about an age discrimination lawsuit.

farkityfarker: She buys a bottle of wine and can't even wait to get home to drink it, much less even get out of the store's parking lot? That's sad. And she had the type of job that most people can only dream of.

Hopefully she'll be able to get the help she needs and rebuild her life.

Meh, I think you over estimate how much TV personalities make in anything other than a Top 25 TV market. And other than if you have some "star power" and are moving up the ladder quickly, you are probably pretty stagnant and either staying where you are or just bouncing around small/mid-size market stations.

Just my guess, but, other than Linda Jackson around here, I doubt anyone else on air even gets close to cracking 6 figures. I might be wrong, but, just my suspicion.

What a sissy that kid must be . . .
"Well yeah I sold her the wine but I thought she was, you know, dead drunk and couldn't drive"

OTOH the police waited nearly 2 hrs to test her. Nice on their part to allow some of it to blow off.

Everyone's a lot safer with her in jail - ever see what one of those Lexus' can do when piloted by a drunk with a pissy attitude? The carnage is un-believeable. It can go on for nearly a city block.

Some's a win, some's a loss - five years from now it won't matter to anyone else.

Sofa King Smart:

With mine it seems the Wellbutrin XL raises my alcohol tolerance slightly, but it's clear the Celexa interacts with ETOH to produce drowsiness and sleep and/or unconsciousness. So it's easier to drink enough to knock myself out.

By the way, I gave up driving in late 2001, long before I took to drink. So where's my cookie?!?

....arrested Tuesday about 3:30 p.m. outside...

....administered a certified breath test at 5:08 p.m....

Can any Fark scienticians or DUI experts tell me if there is anything wrong here? I know she smelled of alcohol and was acting weird, but isn't it possible that she could have chugged a bottle, immediately bought the second one and started drinking it, and not be legally intoxicated at the time of arrest? From what I understand, the alcohol needs time to be metabolized, and this seems like a possible argument for the defence. Or not, someone chime in here...

AgentKGB: Who was that news reporter that had a sextape leak out of her farking a guy in her newsvan?

Allison Williams, WVEC-TV. I know this because it's in the filename of the video, which I have right here. It's a good one, although I didn't realize it was possible to let a guy stick it in and still be a tease, but she somehow manages!

You are correct. I have some friends in TV local news. In Buffalo, only the anchors make a good living. The rest of the on camera staff is lucky to make 35K.

Generation_D: So, WPTA, how many other drunk on-air personalities you guys have? The nation wants to know, what is your story, do you deny running a drunk half-way house for news anchors?

Now that I think about it, all the drunken local TV news anchors I hear about come from there. I think you're on to something. And yes, it's pretty much a matter of course where any media personality here thinks they can call on their buddy the Chief or Sheriff (depending on city/county jurisdiction) to get them out of their shiat.

Musikslayer: karmaceutical: Agent Smiths Laugh: Sigh. I imagine she worked hard to earn her place in her career field, only to piss it all away on booze. Wonder what personal demons she's trying to drown.

Many people, many alcoholics even, would like there to be some personal failure or tragedy as the source, but sometimes Alcoholism is the problem, and not a symptom.

Been there, done that. 8 years sober.

7 1/2 myself. Some of us are just born drunks I think. I'm sure I have some personal problems but loads of people do and they don't down a fifth and a half a day for a decade. I liked being the bad boy and being messed up from an early age. I just always liked it I'm not sure why.

Dick Gozinya		2012-06-28 03:14:04 PM

It's not bogus. There are/were two chicks named Alison Williams in that area: the reporter and the brauty queen. The reporter chick made the tape, but when it hit the net, the beauty queen was more well known. So, google searches for the reporter chick sex tape came up with links to the beauty queen and it caused all the confusion. The stupid porn companies tried to capatilize on this confusion instead of correcting it, hence the multi-million dollar judgement against them when the beauty queen sued them for defamation. Meanwhile, the reporter chick quietly faded away to bolivian*.

*thanks iron mike for this gem...

driving a black Lexis SUV? Hah!

I have to drive the Interstate a lot and get bored so I pay attention to cars around me. When I switched from driving a large expensive-brand (used) wagon to a cheaper (new) hatchback, I suddenly found a lot more people getting up on my ass. I generally drive 5-10 mph over the limit so it's not like I'm being a turtle.

Who's the worst? Lexis SUVs, anything BMW, Cadillac Escalades and large Dodge Ram trucks. Add +20% chance of asshattery for black or other dark color. Not all dark-colored cars are driven idiotically, but it seems to be the color family of choice for jerk drivers.

My BF who drives a custom Forester gets much less tailgating because he's driving a bigger, more expensive vehicle. Thank you size-ist and price-ist jerks.

0.14 percent is only BAC 0.014 am I wrong? But then she continues to report that the legal limit is 0.08 percent in Indiana... If that's the case, don't even think of it. Smelling a beer might put you over... I had not heard of such a law.

No, and as I think you know, it is just a .08 BAC, not .08 "percent". But, most people have the math skills of a Verizon help desk person, so, goes with the territory.

And the DUI's, meh...you can't even get a write-up in the local papers here until you get into the 5-6 range (unless you kill someone or do something like pass out behind your vehicle in the middle of the road like a neighbor back home did).
