Woman Nabbed Twice For DUI On Same Night In 2 Cars

LINCOLN, Neb. — Police arrested a woman twice in one night in two different cars for driving drunk. Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said the woman was pulled over at 1:13 a.m. Wednesday after she allegedly made an illegal turn and was spotted swerving down a south Lincoln street.

The officer who stopped her said her blood-alcohol level was .19. That's more than twice the legal limit. The woman was cited on suspicion of driving under the influence and negligent driving and taken to a detoxification center.

Flood said the same officer stopped the woman again about two hours later. This time she was driving her boyfriend's car. She was arrested for driving under the influence and negligent driving and taken to jail. Her blood-alcohol level then tested at .154.

The solution is seizure and public auction of any car driven by ANY DUI regardless of who owns the car or what bank holds the note on it.

Real quick dealers would start to do background checks before selling cars to people.

People wouldn't lend their cars to drunks.

A lawyer has pointed out all the problems with this approach. I say FIND THE SOLUTIONS.

Why wasn't she kept in jail the FIRST time?

She should not be allowed behind the wheel before she goes through serious rehab. I mean inpatient rehab.
