Woman Blows Over FOUR TIMES LEGAL LIMIT (0.332% BAC) after DWI Arrest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Around 7:03 PM on May 21, 2023, Sergeant Matthew Gajewski with the Union Beach Police Department was on patrol. He observed a disabled 2020 Toyota SUV with a flat tire on Shore Road in the vicinity of Morningside Avenue. He advised dispatch of a disabled vehicle and made contact with the driver, who was identified as 45-year-old Justine Meadow. As he began to interact with the driver, he noticed that her speech was slurred and he detected the odor of alcohol in the vehicle.
Justine told the officer that she was coming from Atlantic Highlands and that her vehicle had a flat tire because she hit a pothole while heading towards Middletown. Sergeant Gajewski asked her if she had consumed any alcohol, but she denied being under the influence. She also refused to provide Sergeant Gajewski with her license, registration, and insurance when he asked her to do so. Based upon his suspicion of impairment, he offered Justine an opportunity to participate in field sobriety exercises.
Sergeant Gajewski started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test, but he was unable to complete the test because Justine refused to follow instructions. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Justine did not walk heel-to-toe in a straight line and failed to count her steps as instructed. The third exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and Justine began stumbling and attempted to lean on her vehicle for support. Sergeant Gajewski ended the test after 21 seconds.
Based on her slurred speech, the odor of alcohol on her person, and her inability to adequately complete the field sobriety exercises, Sergeant Gajewski placed Justine under arrest for driving under the influence. Patrolman Matthew Olivo arrived on scene to assist around this time. Sergeant Gajewski was ultimately able to retrieve her license, registration and insurance after placing Justine in the patrol car. Her vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 12-hour hold under John’s Law. Sergeant Gajewski subsequently transported Justine to the Union Beach Police Department for processing.
At police HQ, Justine was read the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators agreed to submit breath samples. After multiple attempts, her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.332%, which is more than four times the legal limit! After Justine was processed, she was released to a responsible party pending her court appearance after they signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. Sergeant Gajewski issued her the following summonses: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident

Well done. You can do it. My husband is over 20 years sober. Cheers🇨🇦❤️
congrats!
I wish you the best!! 🙏🏾❤
Proud of you!! I'm at 105 today🎉
It helps me stay sober too ! I’ve been sober since July 4 1992
I was her. This is so sad. I had a seizure on my 3rd day of detox and spent 6 months after that in a program so I could heal my soul. This was 7 years ago. I do not miss drinking at all! I pray she finds the right kind of help.
Congratulations im sorry you had it that bad I'm glad you're recovering.
Good for you! Sadly my dad did not 😢. It sucks, I miss him so much. Stay strong 🤗 I’m also sober 8 years now.
❤❤❤
This lady is just hammered, I hope she gets what she deserves; driving under the influence can cause so many issues, and the driver is seldom injured.
Great job, keep up the good work
She started a LOT of sentences and finished literally none of them
Her heel to toe walk was hilarious.
Short memory
Soooo true!
@@jussivalterAs well as black out drunk.
Can you imagine how many lives this officer has protected. She’s completely blotto
I'm a bit irritated that the police never mention it.
Here in Germany, if you have too much alc while driving, or are even just at the limit, you always get the warning, that you should remember, that you are endangering other people on the road.
who may be completely innocent.
@@Mister__Jey Are you saying that in Germany, when the police pull over a suspected drunk driver, all they do is give the suspected drunk a warning?
@@Mister__Jeyit’s in the US too
@@janeceeastwood8035I’m pre sure they meant they get a warning on top of the dui as well. In the US and North America in general they just arrest you.
I blew a .41 in an iop setting once. December will be 4 yrs sober. Glory to God.
Glory to you brother. You changed that.
Amen!
Were you shooting for the record???
@@MelancholyRequiem I used to have to frequent a psych ward semi frequently and they would bet on my back upon arrival after a while. No records unfortunately just how I walked around a long time
The same God that got you into alcohol?
A drunk driver ruined my life. I’ve lived in constant pain for over 30 years. I’ve had over thirty surgeries with more to come. I was unable to be a good father to my young children due to my disabilities. I lost my home, I lost my career. I live at the poverty level.
I have zero compassion for these drunks that eventually ruin lives one way or another.
Four times the legal limit, go to jail and stay there. She made a poor decision and she needs to pay for it. Given that she can stand reasonably well while wasted, is a clear indicator that she’s a habitual drunkard and has years of experience drinking and trying to function.
There are NO excuses for that lifestyle she’s chosen.
A drunk driver killed my friend's whole family. Her 34 yr old husband, her 4 yr old son and her 2 yr old daughter were killed instantly. I agree...NO excuse.
This recovering alcoholic agrees!
so sorry Rex
AMEN 🙏
Wish I had been where she was drinking.
On a different note, what an absolutely gorgeous summer evening. This officer likely saved the lives of people who would have been out for their evening walks or kids playing ball in the streets of this beautiful neighborhood.
It's morning
@@nom3nnesciomorning?? Yikes. What time did she start drinking. Sad
It is the evening yes
You can't drink all day unless you start early! All kidding aside I'm 2 1/2 years sober I nearly died from drinking, and our son died at 46 years young, from drinking.
The birds sound so beautiful like it’s straight out of a movie! As blasted as she was, she probably did think she was in a movie 😅
Congrats to all those in these comments celebrating their sobriety. I don't care it's one hour, one day, or 10 years, you are all doing great!!!! You are strong and you are survivors and i have so much respect for you.
Thank u I’m 17 years sober now
@@eileenlocke7877 That is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of you. The strength that takes, everyday, you make a choice, that is awesome!
I knew a man who was sober for 25 years and still went to aa. He said you were only 1 drink away from being an alcoholic again. In fact in his small town there was no aa so he started one, the men working on their 12 steps, the wives in another with their children. YOU are the one but you want it more than drink.
As a retired RN, I was stunned because when we received people with this high of a blood alcohol they were usually passed out. During the initial conversation it was clear that she was drunk but not this drunk. The fact that she is conscious would indicate to medical personnel that she is a very frequent drinker. She's still clearly impaired but functionional is weird, she must have put a lot away on a daily basis.
I feel awful for her. Not the arrest, which might be a blessing, but because of her alcoholism. Hope she gets help.
That means that she has been a functioning alcoholic for a LONG time. To build up that kind of tolerance!
@@randomvintagefilm273not really, the human body builds up a tolerance very quickly to most addictive substances. I saw one of my friends go from not really ever drinking to almost a half gallon a day in a few months. This lady though, her face looks a lot like my moms who was an alcoholic for over 30 years, there’s a certain look and walk and movement about them. She’s definitely a long term alcoholic. I hope she gets help, my mom never did and she didn’t make it to her 50th birthday.
My mother had to go to the hospital once she was .345 at 95 pounds and still coherent. They couldn’t believe she was still alive to be frank. She was that deep in her addiction RIP ❤
@@annarchy665 me too
At three times the legal limit most people pass out, get sick or can't stand or function. The fact that she could even walk at four times the limit means she is a complete drunk.
This isn’t her first time. I feel bad for her family
She’s what they call a Functioning Alcoholic
Practicing (muchly) alcoholic. She has built up a high tolerance to it.
I will say this women can hold their liquor also, I thought they couldn't drive let alone drunk 😂
besides the shredded tire she managed to not crash into anything major!
maybe her calling is race car driver?
I've been in recovery for 37 years and I always will be. When I was actively drinking every day I called a cab company to take me home. One of the drivers was a lovely lady. After the first night I had her dispatch phone number and her name. When I had been drinking I'd call for her and waited until she was free. She told me what her days off were so I stayed home those nights. She saved my life and the life of others. It's been 37 years but I think of her every day.
Congratulations!!! Glad God put this lady in your path!
Congratulations! I just celebrated 37 years also. 4/18/87 is my sobriety date.
You had a guardian angel! 💖
Your story was soul touching.
I Stopped drinking when I was 19 and did not want to wait around for cabs late at night,and I didn't want to hurt anybody by driving...47 years ago. I am healthier than all my friends that drank,and have aged gracefully because of it also! Nothing is more unattractive than a women who drinks too much and is messy,but as you age with all the help available it is not only a disease but a character flaw. This adventure cost her thousands of dollars too.
This one doesn't get a pat on the back for not being hostile and aggressive. She wasnt doing it to be cooperative. She didn't know what planet she was even on. 🙄
Do you believe she knows Brandon?
I don't think she intentionally refused to provide what was asked for, I think she's totally incapable of comprehending or comply. She is obliterated. Holy moly.
Absolutely. When I I got my dui in 2017 I blew .14 and I’ll admit I was drunk . But .33 is extremely hammered. I’m glad I never hurt anyone nor myself . Never again have I got behind the wheel intoxicated.
I don’t think she didn’t comply. She completely forgot the question. She picked up her phone because she turned towards her purse and forgot why she turned. Oh. Here’s my phone!
But she did intentionally get in a car and drive while plastered. That she could do
The cop was in awe. Usually if the person attempts to get out of the vehicle without being told to the officer stops them. He was observing her the entire time like holy cow lady you are WASTED.
I was surprised how drunk she was and was able to stand up straight outside of the car.
Wonder if the world tilts when she's sober?!
This is very disturbing, but I actually laughed when she just took off walking. I thought she was going to keep going. Knowing that people are on the roads driving drunk scares the heck out of me.
Right? He gives her all the details about heel to toe and then she just takes off - flip, flop, flip, flop, flip, flop! Not a care in the world!
I literally busted out laughing when she started walking 😂
Yeah the license plate read maryland (I think) and she almost took off to L. A.
It should. I know a woman whose epic son was decapitated by a more than drunk,more than one offense,driver. 😢
@@lisamarie5948me too … and she just kept walking …
Eleven years sober, and behavior like this still makes me shake my head in disbelief.
❤❤❤❤ awesome
good for u. good luck.
Same here maybe over 12 years, just didn't like being drunk and stupid even though I don't drive this also just makes me SMH!
Congratulations 🎉
👏Bravo !
She is wacked. Everyone, please stop drinking and driving, it's not worth it.
Imagine killing someone while driving drunk, definitely not worth the risk
imagine all the people who are drunk that don’t kill people , just sayin . i know a guy who got 4 duis and he never killed a single person, an idiot maybe but some drunks are mean and angry others are calm
and quietv
She's the drunkest yet LEAST annoying DUI arrest I've ever seen.
I think it's the fact that she is half passed out so she isn't doing that drunk constantly jabbering thing.
Seriously. Where's the repeated "What did I do???" or the sob story about how you have to understand, she's unemployed or is dealing with a medical condition or has a kid or is upset that her boyfriend left, or the threat that she knows so-and-so and when he/she finds out what happened, the cop is going to be SORRY. I kept waiting for it.
I don't think she ever fully grasped the situation she was even in! She probably thought the nice man in the uniform was just there to spend some time with her! Love how she kept getting distracted by any little noise around her as well! Every time she'd look away from the cop I'd say to myself "SQUIRREL!!!!". ;)
She was too drunk to even argue or yell at that point
Ikr it was kinda boring
Well, after watching a ton of these DUI videos where drunk women won’t shut the hell up, this lady deserves some sort of consolation prize for being quiet.
😂😂
She was too drunk to speak!! LOL!
I was thinking the same thing -was expecting her to revert to the frequently seen toddler tantrum screaming anti-police outburst, but she behaved quite decently for being completely shitfaced.
She reminds me of a suburban closet drinker who downs a couple of those little airline bottles, or a couple of swigs of vodka in the morning to get “right”, and another in the afternoon. I’d call it almost “medicinal” use, to cope with issues one sometimes has in life. It’s such normal part of the routine, she doesn’t feel her impairment.
Anecdotally - we live at the top of a hill entering a wealthy subdivision. My corner yard becomes littered weekly with little airline bottles from what I assume to be “day use” drinkers, pitching the evidence out of their cars before arriving home. (Vodka, gin and sometimes scotch, not fireball or the other sweetened ones popular with the younger set, but it could definitely include them.)
You know, to each his own medicine, but please, if this is you - do what you have to do, but don’t get behind the wheel while doing it.
And throw the bottles in your trash, f*cktards..
Probably fell asleep on the ride
So true!😂
Bro when she did the heel to toe test and just started walking I almost burst laughing
At .332, I'm amazed she did what she did.
I thought she was just headed home
I don't condone her driving while intoxicated but she is the most pleasant drunk driver I've ever seen.
I Know? What was the point of this video?
True. Very sweet demeanor. I wonder if she had painful issues that drove her to drink, or maybe it was just a pure chemical/addiction thing that overcame her.
BTW, the ossifer was also very kind in his manner while doing what he had to do.
She's past that level she is anesthetized
Some are "happy" drunks....
I just think she’s TOO lit to have any reactions. Like her mental capacity is severely slowed
She’s literally drunk so much she’s in an alternate universe. Zero Tolerance for drunk drivers
NY is a "zero tolerance" state & it means nothing. Still slaps on the wrist & charges lowered. It sickens me. Us citizens have zero tolerance, but the states seem to want to wait until someone ends up dead 😢
Zero tolerance for A holes that yack and text on their phones while driving.
Yea no until they get rid of actual physical control “DUI” then maybe we can increase punishment but they have expanded the word driving to include people sleeping in their car, which practically encourages drunk driving if you are going to get in trouble for sleeping
I agreeeee. The anger this triggers in me. Her casual nature and bobble head lying. So disgusting.
That's what i was thinking....like Pluto or maybe circling Mars...
Officer- take 9 heel to toe steps.
The lady- goes for a jog
Gotta get her steps in!
😂😂😂
Lol😂😂😂
😂
Heel to toe
NOT
Heal to toe
😂😂😂😂
I had a .34 when I got my DUI in 2005, a few days from now will be 18 yeas without a drop.
How many drinks was that in what frame of time
My mom used to drive this drunk with me in the car. Absolutely traumatizing and to this day she doesn’t realize how bad her drinking is.
Try to get her TO AA meetings
That woman acts as if she just stepped in from another dimension--totally confused and out of reality. She doesn't have a care in the world or think she's done anything wrong. There's NO excuse for being this smashed. It's a miracle she didn't kill someone. She should be both embarrassed and ashamed.
I hope every friend and family member reminds her of this daily.
I always wonder if these drunks see themselves, are they embarrassed? I hope so. She can’t show her face for awhile is my thinking.
@@chiefscheiderand your friends and family should be known and remind you daily of your most embarrassing moments. Yeah, that’s going to fix everything 🙄
Exactly! At that age she still has no comprehension not to drink and drive???!! My first thought was ; Did she come from another planet?
She is truly an alcoholic. She needs serious help
This is beyond words and truly terrifying that she is not even close to being the only one out there.
My sister died of vodka OD -
Age 59
.40 bac
After 5 months in house rehab
It is so tragic
I'll pay someone 34.5 Gs just to reply to my reply.
I'm doing a comment study.
Excuse me Officer, but I think she standing up asleep! IMO. Lol😊😊
She must have had an IV hooked up to her arm with Vodka to be that drunk and not pass out sooner. 😮
@@MassiveBrainTraumaEat me
I was watching videos on this channel and just happened across this one and was shocked to see my hometown! The officer in the video is an old family friend and an absolutely great guy! He's also one of the best cops in town!
Great art sekks too
My mom used to drive like this. Hit all kinds of stuff... she watched me suffer from 2 drunk drivers... and she still did it. She FINALLY got arrested and had a bac of .365. I didnt feel sorry for her at all. Cost her $40000. In 2017 my daughter Snowden was killed by a drunk driver on mothers day... she was 7. My mom was sober for 10 years and now shes started drinking again. And IT SCARES ME TO DEATH.
I am so sorry
I’m very sorry.
So sorry you lost Snowden. Lovely name too. 🙏❤️
Oh dear, sweetheart
At a 0.332% blood alcohol level, most people would be unconscious. This woman clearly has built up a huge tolerance for alcohol over a long period of time. If she were to just stop drinking, she would go through the delirium tremens and probably have a fatal seizure. What she needs is a medically supervised detox followed by a long period of rehab. And during that time, she needs to be nowhere near the controls of a motor vehicle. The way she is now, she is not really living her life; she is just existing from day to day.
TIL what DT’s stands for. Thanks.
A lot of people don’t know what DT’s actually stand for, most people think ‘detox”. You’re correct, if she’s a around the clock drinker for any amount of time she can’t just be thrown in a cell and forced to quit, it could easily kill her. A lot of people are heartless and say that’s what she deserves but it absolutely is not what anyone deserves, addict or not. If you’ve witnessed it first hand (for me my mom) you wouldn’t wish it on anyone as you seem to know. Sadly rehab is not much more than another money grab by the medical community, the resources offered are a joke. You’d get more out of one week of AA meetings than a month of rehab classes taught by recent graduates with no life experience.
Yes she is obviously a serious alcoholic. Yes detoxing someone can be dangerous, Iv done it before, you need medication for nausea and can ween them off alcohol over several days
I think I saw a cop on UA-cam getting pulled over with a 0.37 or something like that and he seemed totally fine......crazy
We all assume a lot from just short videos, often edited to support a point. I agree that she is possibly a long term alcoholic, and even dependent on it, but your comment
"The way she is now, she is not really living her life; she is just existing from day to day" is maybe off a bit, it could be that from influences and events we have no knowledge of, she gets to live her life and not just exist, because she's escaping something with alcohol excess. Either way, it's sad.
As an ER Nurse, the highest level of alcohol I remember was a .427 and she was alert and oriented and quite functional. Obviously not her first drink.
Me too. Upper Napa Valley, Calif.
It was the victims of these drivers that got to me...
Wow! I worked as a police dispatcher and BTO for a LONG time. I never saw a 0.400 +
@@kristinahuckabee9737 I hit that even higher once. I can drink a bottle of whiskey and just feel energy and contentment, but I don't drive. I just have something in my system where I can't get drunk. idk why. To me, it's a small glass of wine...and everyone else would be in a hospital.
Thanks for the amazing work you do (and the amazing stories. I always ask ER nurses and police officers to share.
I spoke with a traveling ER nurse in Florida I met once and she told me about saving the SAME man 3 times in one night from a drug overdose. He literally checked out after the first time and overdosed 2 more times or her shift. I was dumbfounded that could happen.
@AL_goTrader Frequently, people who have overdosed and had to be revived with CPR and narcan wake up furious because their high was "ruined" by the narcan. It's not unusual at all for them to go back out and get high again immediately.
I tried to do the heel to toe test as he was explaining it and almost fell over and I'm sober. 🤭
I can't do it either..and I read that NOBODY ever passes field sobruety tests..they are not mandatory. Best refused...excluding the breath test.
😂 Balance was never my thing, even as a child
The physical part is a small portion of the FST. Comprehension is a part too and attention.
Good point. Some of us have poor balance and could easily trip over some air.
I was a bartender for 13 years and watching these videos makes me realize how much I don't miss it. They don't show these types of people in the Bartending Academy commercials.
.332 puts most people blacked out. She has a huge tolerance for alcohol. Something tells me her being like this is a regular thing.
Who says she's not blacked out?
.332 would probably put me dead
She was passed out when he showed up…possibly for hours, which added to her confusion. Was probably blacked out when she passed out.
Some people take amphetamines while they drink, helps to keep them going, even though they are very intoxicated and could die...but they take the amphetamines to help keep them from passing out...
You’re absolutely right!! And it gets worse…. this DUI was in May, she was arrested AGAIN for DUI in July!! Hopefully those details get released as well, but this is disgusting! She went right back on the road! They keep slapping her wrist, but she’s too drunk to even feel it. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Her family owns the San Carlo Banquet Hall in Lyndhurst NJ; they’ve owned it for 75+ years… as the banquet and events manger, I’m thinking she’s probably been able to drink like this for a LONG LONG time! I’d also guess she’s driven drunk 100’s of times more than this. You don’t just wake up and drink to BAC like that, you need to PRACTICE a lot in order for that level of drinking to not kill you. Smfh she’s horrible and NEEDS help!!
Her genuine look of disbelief when he placed her under arrest 😳
well, look at it through her eyes
she hit a pot hole and got a damaged tire, had not been drinking
was just trying to get home
this is normal for her
sadly the courts dont treat these drunks as killers on the loose
@@sandwichman100big difference between on the line of the legal limit and being completely obliterated, it’s not a one size fits all crime. people are always so quick to forget all the bad stuff they’ve done when judging others.
I loved when he cuffed her to the bench and she said "are you kidding me?". And he said "I am not kidding you." 😄😄 I hope she gets her driver's license revoked for the rest of her life! It's a wonder she didn't kill anyone. Disgusting drunkard.
In America they don't treat these scumbags as they should. Here (uk) drunk driving is a ban from driving for a year at least.
That's because she's pished.
As it turns out, this was not Ms. Meadow's only foray with law enforcement over a DUI charge. I came across this from July 2023: "Justine Meadow, age 45, from Atlantic Highlands, was arrested by Officer Elzbieta Banel for driving under the influence. Meadow was processed and released on a summons complaint." It's evident Ms. Meadow has a severe alcohol problem. I hope she overcomes it before ever taking the wheel again. Otherwise, she needs to be prevented from driving indefinitely.
This is really sad.
This makes me MAD not sad,it's her choice.
Disgusting. She needs a lot of time in jail before she kills somebody.
Again in May of 2024.
Driving while Drunk or on Drugs should be a FELONY!
I totally agree
No
As a school bus driver I right away noticed the bus in the background. It's so sad that people like this are everywhere around school buses and innocent people trying to travel and carry on their day.
Yes, on another DUI video I watched, a police officer commented that he has made many arrests during the day or before 11 am..
🚩OMG, & the fact that she had her foot pushing the gas pedal _to the floor_ & didn't even seem to realize it... Holy Shiz she would have plowed into that school bus or school children or _anything_ in her path & would have done it _full speed_ or at least as fast as the vehicle could have gotten going before slamming into something or someone.
I will never understand why drunk/impaired drivers get so fucking many chances to do it again & again.
Laws need to change. Period.
I too noticed that school bus and had that same thought!
Yet speeding causes just as many deaths as DUI each year and the amount of people doing it is far greater. Speeders should lose their license for 30-90 days at least. Everyday on my way to work people are going 20-30mph over the speed limit, in the dark, foggy and slick out. For some reason they get a pass though. It’s BS, all traffic infractions of an egregious nature should be treated the same.
It’s not just drunk drivers. It’s also people who use drugs. Also think about all the nasty pedophiles around our children on a daily basis. This world is one sick disgusting hell hole
She was arrested again for DWI in August 2023. This woman needs to either be put in jail or under house arrest with ankle monitor. License should be suspended too. When will the courts do something - after she kills someone?
How did you find that out
probably be best to commit her to mandatory rehab for 6 months. possibly a year
And they should put the device in her car where it won’t start until she blows into a breathalyzer and won’t if it registers over .08
Confiscate her car…
In New Jersey, nothing of consequence will be done to take her off of the road until she kills. Wisconsin is another "we love drunk drivers" state. New Mexico about the same. Judges in these states just won't do much. Oh, maybe community service, maybe a drunk driving "program" what ever that is, Maybe probation for a year or two. But no jail time until they kill someone. It is just the way it is. Some other states are a bit more strict, but overall in America, we are just not that serious about really stopping drunk driving.
Someone came through our clinic with a BAC of over 0.40. I thought it was a typo til I looked back through his records and it wasn’t even his highest BAC. Poor guy was a vet who’d gone into the army with ptsd and a drinking problem and came back from Vietnam with everything worsened. He fell through the cracks, got no help, destroyed his liver and had zero chance of a transplant. Congratulations to all those in the comments who have a day of sobriety today. One day at a time.
She was very docile and respectful. No big tantrum or vile language. Got to give her that.
An 87%-er.
Thanks to Gajewski for saving someone's life that day. Also 0.332 is stomach pump time. She's a professional drinker.
How the hell is she even conscious??? I guess she must be a serious alcoholic.
She is a tiny person. She tolerates alcohol very well. It is also probably genetic. However, she badly needs counseling, Rehab, and to connect with a support group of recovering alcoholics.
I just happened to stumble on this video and was shocked to see my hometown. The officer is a family friend and a really great guy! He's also one of the best cops in town!
ERs do not pump stomaches of drubk ppl. We put them on a gurney and wait for them to sober up....many hour usually more than 8.
She needs to switch to weed. There is no "breathaliser" for weed so you can just drive while high & not face consequences.
It amazes me how many DUI arrests a person can get before something is done about it
AMEN! So true!
lt is shameful that people can have multiple DUI and nothing is done. we don’t protect the children and we don’t really don’t frown on alcohol abuse. 🤦♀️
For real. You get more time for personal use possession of ANY drug including pot than you would get with 5 or so DUIs! Simple theft gets more time even if no one gets hurt or anything! Shameful how our court systems work (or DONT work)
Even when they are prohibited from driving, it makes no difference. They continue to drive. No regard for anyone but themselves. They need to be hit where it hurts - either exorbitant fines or prison.
yeah its all bs . they want people drinking and driving.
Tell me you're a raging alcoholic without telling me you're a raging alcoholic
This is known in the drinking world as being “hammered”🤣🤣🤣
Or snot flinging drunk.
Pie eyed😂😂
Notice how reasonably coherent and stable she is. Her whole physiology is alcohol dependent. She drinks every day..all day and the percentages are in her favor if she drives she will kill or severely injure someone..but, who will stop her?
She is absolutely has alcohol dependency syndrome if she can walk and function at this high of a BA level. She needs a medical detox before going to jail as the withdrawal could kill her. Sadly, there are people in my family who live like this and never get help.
Should be more serious consequences!
It is very sad. I hope she can get into a rehab facility and take back control.
She is not “reasonably coherent”.
Yep my feeling is she is a professional alcoholic but on this day she over did it. She probably functions at .20 most days.
This woman is one of the most severe alcoholics I think any of us have seen on these channels... 0.332% and is able to function, act coherent, walk. Any normal person would be in the hospital having their stomach pumped. I cannot believe this person was on the road
I bet she had a major hangover
She couldn't perform a single one of his tests.
haha My older brother had his blood drawn at the hospital before he was going to be picked up for a voluntary 30 day inpatient after being henpecked by his miserable dry drunk wife. The ER Dr. walked in and said, You should be dead! I cant believe what I am witnessing! Your BAC is 4.8! I am in utter shock that you are still able to walk, talk and have a coherent conversation right now. haha
@@beccasmithers2672usually drunks don’t get “hangovers” it’s just a trip to the liquor store or fridge to do it all over again….
@@beccasmithers2672 Unfortunately, she probably DIDN'T. I'm a recovered alcoholic (22 years sober) who drank VERY excessively to the point where the hangovers just stopped. In fact, it gives you a false sense of invulnerability... you think your body "won"... when in fact your body has suddenly switched from WANTING the alcohol to NEEDING the alcohol. The sugar spikes the alcohol causes also makes you wake up very early most mornings and you believe, "wow, look at this, I'm just fine! No hangovers, and look how responsible I'm being by waking up so EARLY!" Yep, this poor woman is probably there. I feel for her.
She keeps getting distracted by the chirping birds...lol
Why, in America, are people allowed on their phones when pulled over by police. Do that in Australia and your phone will be removed from you. You deal with the situation you are in and nothing else. You will also be breath tested with no questions asked.
That’s the greatest 9to heel -toe steps I’ve ever seen….
I thought she would keep going until she hit the next tavern 🤪
This is infuriating. She'll kill someone and walk away. Shes going to ruin someone's life. She needs to be in jail for the safety of us all.
She's already ruining someone's life, HERS... hopefully not someone else's down the road via a drunk driving collision or some desperate schmuck with poor judgement that chooses her companionship..i doubt she's married.
I arrested a woman who blew .36. Months later, I arrested her again and she was .32. The next year she fell down her stairs and bones were sticking out of her neck. She was educated and wealthy. Her home was immaculate, and she had a wonderful family. She was just an alcoholic and died for it.
I’m sober 17 years now . This helps me stay on track . Addiction is awful . Hope she gets help
I like this police officer, straight to the point but very polite. Great job! Thank you for getting her off the street! 💙
But who is going to keep her off the streets!
@@amandatolleson7740 Interesting you ask that - someone else in this comment section claims that she was busted again for DUI just two months after this incident! Someone who knows something about her and her family, and from what I read, this woman is an events manager for a banquet hall her family owns, or something.
I just stumbled on this video while watching videos on this channel and was shocked to see this is my hometown and the cop is a family friend. He's a really great guy!
@@user-ls5ik1vm3k Don't they lose their license for DUI ??????
I think the shred of the tire said it all. You have to be three sheets to the wind to ruin a tire like that.
If we actually knew how many drunks were on the road, we would not drive. They look perfectly fine, sitting there behind the wheel.
I was her. I've been regularly, seriously impaired, and still functioning. I bought one of those BAC breathalyzers and often blew over 0.3. It's a very sad life to live.
It just continues to amaze me when a person knows they’ve been drinking and the officer asks them if they have had anything to drink, anything at all…and they say NO.
she was beyond toxic. I dont think she even knew what was going on. she wasnt just drunk. she was waaaaay beyond that
Because saying yes is a confession that would be held against them in court, they won’t be able to try pleading not guilty.
If a cop ever asks you if you’ve done anything at all the only response ever should be no. If they’re asking, they’re just gathering evidence to charge you, they already assumed you did whatever it is. You see, officers fancy themselves the judge, jury and executioner when their job is to protect. They aren’t investigators, they aren’t detectives, they’re not judges. Don’t tell them that though, they lie through their teeth to get you to say anything at all that could implicate you in what they’ve already decided you did.
Because they spend their whole life's lying. It just comes naturally to them.
It amazes you that we sinful people lie? What sheltered or oblivious universe do you live in?
To blow a .332 and still be conscious and walking around is INSANE.
Most people would pass out, urinate on themselves, have alcohol poisoning, and be at risk for choking on their own vomit and dying.
It’s so terrifying there are people that drive under the influence like her all of the time!
And they're rarely the ones who get hurt when they crash
Amazing. This cop is not just patient. Compassionate, understands how far gone she is, keeps it simple
The revving of the engine in park was just.. oof.

It’s really sad that because alcohol is socially acceptable and responsibly enjoyed by millions of people that it’s still overlooked as one of the most destructive substances known to man also for millions of people.
Lives are destroyed daily because of the ravages of its addictive effects.
Thanks to good ol' marketing! Head for the Mountains!
My friend just died from the complications of alcohol abuse, 58 years of age.
yeah its one of the worse drugs we ever discovered. the millions of people who can enjoy it without going overboard simply weren't born with a predisposition towards alcoholism. For the other millions 1 is too much and ten aint enough. Most kids go through the drinking stage but if you lost the genetics lotto in that department youre in serious trouble. They deal that drug on airplanes and in airports, every major event in our lives.. cant legislate it away but its a serious serious health crisis.
@@rainymctrixie1just lost a friend a 40, lost my mom when I was young at 49.
BAN ALCOHOL!!!!!
She was definitely was out of it , brain was in the cloud and did not wanted to think for the answers 😂😂😂
Being able to stand and talk (sort of) at three times the limit indicates a serious tolerance level for alcohol..
With that level of alcohol, in Ireland you’d get a 3 year ban for your first offence!!
The way she looked stunned when he said she was under arrest 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ most definitely a functioning alcoholic for sure. She's on her own planet.
So many 40-50 yr old upper middle class women that are so miserable
As awful as it is what this woman did driving drunk like that, I’m astounded that she could walk around and function at all with a BAC of .335. So glad she didn’t kill somebody.
She was arrested AGAIN for DUI in July or August 2023 by a different officer. Enough!!
Omg, it looks like she was also arrested in May 2023. Definitely a menace.
How many times can she do this?? She needs to be locked up for treatment
Wow
And that's why people keep on doing it. No real consequences
OMG NO WAY!!!! I hope she gets serious jail time before she ends up killing someone or innocent family this is ridiculous clearly they are not holding her accountable enough that she fears drinking and driving!
That was the quietest DUI arrest that I've ever seen. 😆
A drunk driver killed my best friend on the 4th of July we were 16 when it happened... this outrages me
I agree, they lest people off way too easy, it’s infuriating. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
The fact that she's over a .33 & still sitting & standing upright is crazy. To be that intoxicated during daylight hours says something.
I was hit by a drunk driver when I was 7. I broke all the facials bones on the left side and also my jaw and nose. I had a severe concussion and was in a coma for five days. It took many years of reconstructive surgery to fix my face, I had horrible nightmares for years and have recurrent headaches to this day. This bastard not only broke my face but broke my spirit and I'm still in therapy many years later. This is what these horrible, irresponsible pieces of human garbage can accomplish.
I’m so sorry that happened to you and dealing with the after effects. I despise drunk drivers. We really need harsher punishments for it. Take care ❤
@@BLUEGREEN65 Thank you so much ❤️🤗
@@74associates Troll
@74associates WHAT IS THERE TO BE FAIR ABOUT? How dare you make that comment to a victim who was 7y.o. when hit and still dealing with the trauma. No one makes people drink and especially drink to the level of being drunk. They deserve no fairness because no fairness was given to their victim.
@@ajfaithful7012 @plantlady1557 I completely understand your anger as that comment was meant for another thread. What the?!
3 TIMES the legal limit!!!!! It is absolutely mind boggling to me that she is even a little coherent at that point, let alone walking around or talking. Jesus.
This woman is the quietest drunk ever.
She's literally too drunk to talk coherently and she knows it.
This was probably the 100th+ time she drove drunk. Finally got caught. Nobody has a level that high and still standing unless they have a very high tolerance.
If you google her name, Justine Meadow, and DUI arrest you will see she was arrested in July, by a different Officer, for another DUI. She needs to lose her license.
4 th time
"Who did you call?"
"My boyfriend."
"Where's he coming from?"
"...I haven't met the right guy yet."
Also that was the most pathetic attempt to resist arrest I've ever seen
lol
Haven't met the right hard core alcoholic yet.
😂😂
She is drunk so nothing she says makes sense.
Very creative, tho
Not too bad having blood poisoning levels of BAC. The school bus in the distance just made this whole thing haunting......
I also noticed the bus. TG it was parked and not dropping off kids.
I will never understand what on earth would ever cause a drunk person to ever decide to drive a car. She isnt tipsy after a few drinks at a bar shes freaking shitfaced at like 9 in the morning. I hope she gets help and thank God she didnt hurt anybody.
It's called blacking out. The body is moving but the brain isn't thinking.
She can’t even put a sentence together. What a shame. These are the people we have to be afraid of. Respect officer.💗🙋🏼🫶🏻
I haven't seen someone this hammered in a while. She was EXTREMELY dangerous. This officer very likely saved someone's life, maybe even hers. I hope she learns from this.
"I got a flat tyre."
That tyre's not flat. It's shredded.
I can relate to being this drunk, or more. Been sober 13 years.
Congrats on that!
@@user-ls5ik1vm3k Thank you
I’m with you!
Maybe not THIS drunk, but definitely drunk, driving and in denial.
I’ll be 14 years sober in January🙏🏻
The selfishness of these drunks. No regard for anyone but themselves. There should be a mandatory DUI class where they show pictures of people who were killed in dui accidents, then mandatory jail time , loss of license for a year and fines. There is NO excuse for this.
Selfishness of scumbag A holes playing on their phones while driving! You play with your phone while driving, car towed, phone confiscated, arrested, jail until you bond out, 1 yr suspended drivers license and fines! Then these A holes wont yack and text on their phones while driving! Time for harsh and painful consequences for these deadly drivers,
That's pretty much exactly how it used to be.
In new York state there is a requirement to go to a course. The MADD program. Mother's against drunk driving. Where you see pictures of people killed.
They don't even have regard for themselves.
There is such a class, it's called the victim's panel
Its amazing at that BAC, shes not stumbling around. Walking around normally.
Congrats to all who have 1 day or
100 years sober! Just celebrated 37 years sober. I don’t miss alcohol at all.
Loved how the cop handled it. He didn’t ask, or coddle. He just went straight to the tests.
Sarge doesn't mess around.
In 1976, in high school as part of our Driver's Ed class, they showed us actual Florida Highway Patrol videos of real car accidents. Even the guys who were considered the "cool guys" went dead silent as we had to watch those. To this day I swear they caused me to be a good, patient, non drinking driver.
we had the same things, in our driver's ed classed, in '75. 'Signal 30' was something else!
@@thatwench Must have made a true impact on you, because even I don't remember the titles of the videos! Guess I wiped them from my memory, but I remember some of what I saw, and it was gruesome.
As a retired Insurance Material Damage Adjuster I’ve seen thousands of wrecked vehicles and hundreds of them were driven by drunk drivers that survived the crash…pissed me off that they survived after injuring or killing other people involved in their accident. Hell I hated to call it an accident…it was an “On Purpose”.
I remember those videos! I also attended two separate civilian academies here in Florida where they show similar videos, as well as photos. The one that I will never forget was a drunk driver who took on a train and lost! That was the most horrific of all!!!
@@adrianrosado2223 The one I remember most was the FHP or maybe it was the paramedics cleaning up a crash scene and literally scraping what was left of someone off a highway. Others were bagging up several bodies. I remember I thought to myself I don't want to go out that way...I'd bet today's Drivers Ed classes don't show those videos anymore.
I continue to be appalled at how many people are out there behind the wheel and could take me out without stopping or noticing.
Such a sobering and horrifying thought.
I have been sober for 12.5 years. 2 DUI's didn't stop me. My rock bottom was so low that 6 weeks in the hospital with liver failure, pancreatitis and hep C didnt stop me either. The night I was released from the hospital, I went and drank.... I am so grateful that I never hurt anyone. When I watch these videos, I see myself from the outside looking in. Congrats to my fellows in recovery! I hope this woman hits her rock bottom sooner than later.
I was downsized in my job 2 years ago. I started drinking. I became a functional alcoholic. I finally broke down with my doctor as she said you will eventually have cirrhosis of the liver and need a transplant. Drunks are at the bottom of the selection order. I'm on a program of prescription drugs to eliminate the booze. It's absolutely difficult if not impossible to quit cold turkey. For any of you reading this, don't hide your problem like I did.
Thank you for trying to help others
Prayers and strength to you.
Just wanted to add that if you're drinking enough, quitting cold turkey can actually kill you. So please don't hide your problem, and please talk to medical professionals before just quitting!
Great advice. Ask for help, reach out.
Believe me, people will be there to help.
That woman reminds me of the first time I took my toddler Trick or Treating: She was mesmerized by the goings on around her at the stores and walkways in the mall we went to that night. She couldn't believe adults were giving out stuff they normally don't let you have, in abundance. That drunk's facial expressions were very similar.😆
Fantastic side boob in the police station too!
That cardinal is sounding beautiful!!!
Right out of the gate, this woman is smashed!
She’s “as think as you drunk she is” but, hasn’t said ONE full coherent sentence yet 🫤🤦🏽♀️ She could have hit a kid, anyone instead of a pothole 😤 DISGUSTING 😓
shes as jobber as a sudge
and i bet she will be able to find her japamas when she goes to sleep on the creconte tonight.
No different than A holes that play on their phones while driving. Anybody that does so should receive the same arrest and penalties and a DWI.
I think the champagne she had was gin 😛
haha@@stevebinninger7934
@@johnsmith-ug5tpthat’s soooo not the same thing. still very dangerous and stupid but this is a very ignorant statement
I've seen much drunker looking people at under 0.16% BAC. This is insane how she can still walk (and fairly well at that) with such high intoxication level.
I know, I guess this is like blackout drunk. Her body is sort of an automatic pilot.
At 7:45 she's walking like a zombie, almost looked like she was just giving keep going.
Chronic alcoholics build a tolerance.
She's a functioning alcoholic.
Possibly a functioning alcoholic
I thought exactly the same.
13 years 10 months and 4 days sober.
2 yrs 7 months and 9 days since my ex died of alcoholism
Being that drunk, I'd stay home and enjoy the buzz, instead of "driving it off".
You know you have an alcohol issue, when officers cannot tell if you are the same person as the photo on your driving license. This woman was one of the most drunk i have seen on many of these videos. Thank goodness the officers got her.
Alcohol ages people.
Totally. My jaw dropped ...he couldn't even recognize her from her license
This woman has a serious alcohol problem. I have a family member that was unconscious and taken to the hospital with a .32. This woman is still somewhat coherent with a higher BAL and lower body weight than he had. That is scary.
