Police arrest ‘zonked out’ woman for for DUI one day after she pled guilty to the first one
‘TAKING IT TO THE LIMIT’
LOUISA, Ky. — On 10-27-16 in Lawrence County district court Stacy D. Childers, 36 pled guilty and was convicted of a DUI charge, her second offense.
But you haven’t heard the rest of the story.
When convicted on driving under the influence in Kentucky they take your drivers license immediately, Thus Mrs. Childers lost her license.
But on the very next day after her arrest State Trooper Bryan Layne and Constable Paul Wells responded to a 911 dispatch call at Wendy’s restaurant in Louisa, in reference to a disorderly female subject yelling and cursing at the people working the drive –thru window.
Upon arriving on the scene the officers observed Stacy Childers at the drive-thru window with the vehicle in park, but running. A male passenger, Clarence Childers appeared to be passed out in the passenger‘s seat while all of the commotion was going on.
According to a citation issued in this incident, Ms. Childers appeared to be extremely under the influence and was NOT aware of her surroundings.
“She was just sitting in the drive-thru line, holding all of the cars up and eating her salad,” a witness at the scene who asked to not be identified, said.
Both officers stood on the passenger side of the car long enough to observe her for several minutes and she still did not see them, or was basically so under the influence she was oblivious to what was going on, or that she was eating her food while still sitting in the drive-thru. The officers asked Ms. Childers to exit the car and she was unsteady on her feet, staggering while doing so. She failed all of the field sobriety tests, the citation stating that “the subject lost thought process and couldn’t remember or follow instructions. She admitted to taking one half of a klonopin and a suboxone on this date which didn’t appear to be truthful,” one of the Officers said.
Along with being arrested for a 3rd offense DUI with aggravating circumstances, she was also charged with Driving on a Suspended license, and no registration receipt. All of this one day after being in court the day before, and convicted of the second DUI.
Ms. Childers was arrested and transported to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center with no bond. I would hate to think of how this could have turned out had someone not called 911 and reported this incident. She remains in the BSRDC.
