Mom accused of D.U.I. in school pick-up line
A fender bender at Greenville Middle Academy in South Carolina on Wednesday ended with one mom being arrested for driving under the influence.
Marcia Peyrouse Gaines, 49, was involved in a minor traffic accident in the school pick-up line. What tipped police off that this mother might be three sheets to the wind? When a cop asked Gaines for her driver’s license, she gave him a credit card. Testing revealed that her blood alcohol level was .23 percent, nearly three times the legal limit, according to WYFF TV News. She faces a fine of up to $1,000 or 90 days in jail.
While no one was hurt, Jason Rampey of the Greenville police said: ”I think one of the things that is so egregious about this is that there were kids present and so many other people present in this line.”
The cuffed mom apparently retained her sense of humor, if not her sobriety. When a WYFF reporter asked her for comment, she replied: ”I’m sorry you’re having such a slow news day.”
