....Wambach, 35, (click here) was released on her own recognizance and charged with misdemeanor DUII (driving under the influence of intoxicants).
According to a release from the Portland police department, Wambach was driving a 2014 Range Rover and was stopped at 11:05 p.m. Saturday after failing to stop for a red light. A sergeant observed signs that she was under the influence of alcohol. Wambach failed field sobriety tests and was arrested. She later failed a breath test at the Central Precinct in downtown Portland. She was polite and cooperative throughout the investigation, police said....
This is exactly the reason "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" was organized in the first place. Abby should be thanking the sergeant in the first place. She was lucky to be alive today AND not causing the death or injury of anyone else. This isn't just a traffic ticket.
If Abby was this intoxicated after visiting with a friend for dinner, she needs to meet with a counselor and clean up her priorities. If she was compromised at 11:00 pm at night, she should have asked to be provided a safe ride home or called a real friend herself.
