Marco Island, Florida
On October 26 of 2012, 38-year-old
Patricia Ann Libby piled her children into her grey
Hyundai and departed towards Tommy Barfield Elementary. In addition to dropping her kids off at school, Patricia also planned to talk to the school's administration about accompanying the class on a field trip they were taking that day.
Unfortunately, Patricia had also decided that the best way to go into this meeting was by loosening up with a few drinks first...and
driving her children to school while she was drunk.
Though to be fair, going to the principal's
office as an adult can still be pretty stressful.
When Patricia pulled into the school parking lot at around 8:15 AM, she proceeded to
ram her Hyundai into a parked
Smart car....which is something that potentially could have happened without alcohol being a factor; Smart cars are hard to see (and look ridiculous enough to inspire unbridled rage in some).
Unfortunately, Patricia then proceeded to back up and collide with the Smart car
two more times before deciding that her parking job was satisfactory.
Ignoring the destruction she had just caused, Patricia walked her children into school and
proceeded to ask about chaperoning the trip that day. Instead of getting a visitor's pass, however, she was rewarded for her offer of volunteer service with a call to the police.
When officers arrived on the scene, they smelled alcohol on Patricia, who promptly proved their suspicions by
failing a field sobriety test multiple times.
Embedded below is a local news report on the matter, complete with interviews during which people courageously state that driving drunk near a school is bad.
Patricia Ann Libby was
arrested on charges of driving under the influence, driving under the influence with property damage, neglect of a child, and duty upon damaging an unattended vehicle or other property.
Along with having no regard for low
emission vehicles that look completely absurd.
