Mom Turned In For Drunk Driving By 8 Year Old Son

October 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

A mom who has a habit of driving drunk was reported for drunk driving by her 8 year old son.

The woman, was allegedly driving drunk while her son was in the car. The smart little boy decided to use a cellphone to dial 911.

Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday night after she drove to a fire station and told people there that she had a medical problem. It turns out, the problem was that she was drunk.

Her son, riding in the car with her, had been repeatedly calling 911 and trying to describe landmarks as they passed them. Using global positioning technology and the little boy’s descriptions, the police located the car at the fire station less than a minute after the woman and her son arrived.

Before the little boy had called police, they had received another call about the vehicle driving erratically. When the little guy got in touch with police he told them that his mom wasn’t acting normal and that he didn’t know exactly where they were.

At least twice when the boy was trying to get police help, his mother interrupted the calls. At one point she reportedly bit her child on the hand to try to get the phone away from him.

A five year old child was also in the car with Spears. Both children were placed in the care of a relative and Spears was arrested for suspicion of DUI, reckless endangerment and assault of a child. She has at least one previous conviction for drunk driving.

    Well, I guess the police in Las Vegas aren’t afraid of OJ Simpson after all. Today OJ was arrested and taken into police custody. Charges in connection with the armed robbery of the sports memorabilia dealer are pending.

    Excuse me for a moment while I do a happy dance.

    At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the armed robbery and more arrests are expected. And - get this - sources say that the thug that has already been arrested may very well turn on OJ.

    Simpson and Walter Alexander have been arrested so far. Alexander is charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

    Alexander’s attorney said that the DA has said that Alexander has a week to think about negotiating a plea agreement. I like the strategy they are using here. They are going to charge OJ’s thugs with every single thing they can think of, and basically force them to give up the goods on OJ Simpson.

    Oh, this is going to be good. OJ Simpson finally may get served some justice.

    Here’s a new candidate for dad of the year - the guy who left his two year old in the car at a brothel. Then he had the nerve to tell police he was attending a function at the brothel. Yeah… a bodily function. Ick!

    The two year old girl was left in the car for two hours in 95 degree heat. Her dad was arrested for child neglect after a security guard found the little girl in the car, which was parked at the Mustang Ranch brothel and called the police.

    Dad of the year is being held in jail in lieu of $40,000 bail. The little girl was treated for dehydration and released to the Nevada Division of Family Services.
