I can never understand why police release someone back into the wild before they are sober, but that’s what they did to Catherine Butler. She was initially arrested at 2AM in upstate New York for driving like an asshole while intoxicated — she was too drunk to realize that she didn’t have her headlights on. So the police brought her in, took this phenomenal mug shot, held her for a for an hour or two, and then they handed her off to her friend.
Not long after, Butler was caught swerving all over the road at 5AM, because WHAT THE SHIT DID THEY THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? You can’t hand people off to friends. Friends don’t care. Friends are easily convinced.
“I swear I’m sober, Stace. They held me for, like, one full hour. You know how fast I get sober.”
“Do you, like, swear that you’re sober?”
“I totes swear…times infinity.”
“You must be telling the truth. Here are your keys.”
If you ask me, the fucking cops and her friend should be charged for the second DUI.
