Sounds like Birmingham is a real partying town on Halloween - #1, I prefer never to "awaken" in a jail cell and #2, the amount of alcohol consumption needed to get me there in the fist place would have me "Beery" eyed and not telling who was approaching me! LOL

Kinda like my ex.

Zombies should be arrested whether they're drunk or not.

You know DUI is serious business, and I shouldn't laugh at this lady but DAMN it was funny.

Hahahahahaha! What a wake up call!

Was she a hot zombie chick? That's the real question.

thepunisher: no way to tell under all that makeup! ;)

All jokes aside, I hope she learns from this and does not drive drunk again for any reason.

Back when I drank, I could drink almost any woman pretty, even zombie women - just couldn't drink the fat ones skinny.

She was probably just a zomney anyways.... (Hell shoot her again) if thats the case....

Zomney's have little bwains anyways....

Wow, had to turn it political didn't ya? You must be a Bama fanboy.

Oh Gawd! This makes the rest of us rednecks look really bad......no wait that would be Honey Boo Boo

Since she was sitting at a light, they can at least charge her with something like obstructing traffic. Although she'd have to be reeeally drunk to think she should turn off her car while waiting at a stop light.

around here its a key issue as in "keys in your possession" while being in your vehicle" . if that dont work, if you were in "the vicinity" of your vehicle and drunk. or if an officer "smells what he believed to be " it all adds up the same way. a P.C. version of hand over your wallet.

I thought they could charge you with DUI if you are sleeping it off in the car.

In GA you can be in the car, but the keys can't be in the ignition.

No Dawg, in most states that is not how it works at all. As Scooter says, keys in your possession is just about all they need to nail you for DUI.

actually if the keys are in the ignition...regardless to where your car is, you can be busted for DUI. That shows you are making an attempt to drive. So if you get in your car (in parking lot) and want to sleep it off, make sure you leave your keys in your pocket.

Youdon't:Or get in the back seat.

She should have stayed a "Walker".

It all depends on where you live; in MN you could be passed out in the bed of a pick-up and if you have your keys on your person they can get you for DUI. Also if you walk out of a bar and have your keys they can get you.

Actually I think it is different in every state. Just like a BAC level of x may get you a DUI in one state but not another. I think in VA it is if the keys are within reach then you can be charged so people usually throw them in the back seat.

there have been more than a few times that i told cops that i was in no condition to drive when they told me that if i was to stay where i was that i would be arrested,

did everything i could to prove to the cops that by no means should i be driving, they still told me if i stayed there, they would take me to jail,

i did drive away because yes, a person who has had a few and knows their limit, but still doesn't want to see themselves in a jail cell.

the laws are corrupt,

if you have a beer or two,

you will spend the rest of you life being crucified,

but then the people who will claim to be drug and alcohol free, but can't go a month without a visit to a pharmacy can drive their cars and trucks through your home or business without being tested for their prescriptions because it was given to them by a so called doctor.

BS in New Mexico, if you have your keys in the ignition, your busted, don't matter, the intent was there even though you were just listening to the radio. Unfortunately I speak from experience and am ashamed by it, now a days, if I want to drink I stay home. Don't really want to listen to the radio in the truck anymore. Just annoy my neighbors with my music. Costs versus pissing off neighbors once in a while is worth it.

Not sure what the law is in Alabama but if you're in the drivers seat drunk and asleep and your car is at an intersection the elements of a crime seem to exist.

Of course there could be a grand conspiracy and on of her "friends" parked the car at the intersection and then they put her unconscious body behind the wheel as a joke.

In the State I'm in Key in your possession is all you need no matter where your car is. Go AZ. Yes I went to a court mandated driver class, blowing a red light. That means your car can be in Illinois. Ya, they don't enforce it a lot.

Or, What If, you don't get so F'ed Up in the first place where you Have to drive???. Reading the comments above makes me believe in Natural Selection, unfortunately you drunken boneheads kill others in the process.

IXLR8,

when i had my situations,

i drove for more than 1/2 hour and more,

i remember closing one eye just to get back to seeing double, but made it all the way home, parked the car in the drive way and even made it to my bed, while some of it i don't remember doing.

In Illinois say you're over served and pull into a Denny's parking lot to sleep it off. You better be in the back seat and the keys locked in the trunk. That's why it is so not a good idea to drive drunk! We're older,wiser,and can finally afford it, a designated driver is the only way. Have all the fun you or your liver can stand just don't make anyone else pay the price for your actions! That goes for Democrats,Republicans,Liberals,Conservatives,Independenst or the undecided. Undecided? What the heck is that? Anyone who does not know who they are voting for in this election by now is just to stupid to vote in the first place!

somestillstupidenough... (#2.11 & 2.16): Why on earth did you not call a friend or family member for a ride, or a taxi, or just plain walk? Who said you had to get behind the wheel just because the cops told you that you would be arrested if you stayed?! There are always other alternatives to driving.

stillstupid, it's called a blackout. Don't kill anyone else while you are stupid.

Dawgfan-4710266, you must be as ignorant as she is! CAN YOU READ??? "...they had to wake her as she sat at a traffic signal. The car was still running (in gear) when officers managed to wake her."
What amazes me is that no one seems to have caught the part that said "...her Halloween costume, which appeared to resemble something like a blood-splattered, pregnant zombie." If she was, indeed, pregnant, she should also be charged with child abuse, endangerment, something along those lines. It's bad enough she put herself and everyone else on or near the road in danger, but an unborn baby? Unconscionable.

I know this girl personally, and she is not pregnant lol. It was her Halloween costume. She is a very sweet young girl who parties hard. It finally caught up with her this night. Glad nobody got hurt.

Not really pregnant. Halloween costume... #Itsallgood

the stoned ones are even worse....they get one hell of a case of the "munchies" ya know......

Just a matter of how long it will take you to eat yourself to death. oops didn't make it this time,damn.

I, for one, as simply shocked and I hope a civil liberties group files a suit. We should not be profiling zombies. To do so is basic discrimination, bigotry and is unconstitutional. Mortaphobia is the fastest growing prejudice. Zombies are human beings, too! Well, they use to be.

So how many bites does it take a zombie to get to the brain? Can human jaws even crack a skull? Inquiring minds wants to know.

@thepunisher, why bite a skull open when they can go in through the eyes or nose? Or just bash it against the pavement? *overthinking*

great post kj thanks.....you may have a cookie........heck take the whole bag, there are never enough good stories on here.

no just drunk. she could have been an Amy Farrah Fowler, Ph.D., type for all you know. why post just to insault?

It's ok to call anyone an idiot that attempts to drive while drunk. That's not an insult it's reality.

Yes she is an idiot, not because she was drunk, anybody that has a drink occaionly will find themselves at some point drinking a liitle too much. Hopefully most have the commen sense not to drive.

No, this woman is an idiot because she was PREGNANT AND DRUNK at the same time. From the article,

"But the blood wasn’t real, and she hadn’t been shot. Instead, police told al.com, she was just drunk and still dressed in her Halloween costume, which appeared to resemble something like a blood-splattered, pregnant zombie."

If you wanted to be a zombie fine, but the only reason I can think of to dress up like a pregnant zombie is because, well, you're pregnant and you want to be a zombie for Halloween.

Sorry for the typos, the stupid website glitched and wouldn't let me edit/correct the post, the timer just counted down to zero no matter what I clicked on and by the time I refreshed it was too late.

If she attempted to get behind the wheel after drinking, yes she is an idiot. Especially if she consumed enough to pass out. That is how you kill others on the road, or even yourself.

I was wondering that too!

Mom, what are you doing drunk in Alabama and what did you do with Dad.

Love, your little zombies.

So if a pregnant chick becomes a zombie, does she go after the fetus or the father?

Is that what happened to Dad?

Mom ate him?

Mom sold him to other zombies for drinking money and a car?

Is that why Mom is drunk in Alabama?

Come home mom we need some thing to eat.

Love, your starving little zombies.

Do zombie moms breast feed? Do they have trouble getting the zombie baby daddy to give them a hand with the baby and stay there with the hand?

Honestly, this story would be hilarious if she had been passed out behind the wheel in a parking lot or parked along the curb. Just extreme luck that somehow she had the presence of mind to stop at a light. She probably popped the clutch which killed the truck, maybe even striking her head, which fortunately ended the driving. If she is actually pregnant, that opens a whole other bag of screwed up issues. My sister-in-law is the result of prenatal drinking by her hardcore alcoholic mother. The damage keeps hurting people.

Not really pregnant. Halloween Costume.... #Itsallgood

naw.... they never go away, check the local bar at say...midnight....

VFFV !!!!

in the street, sitting at a stoplight. If her car had been parked on the side of the road, she may not have even been noticed.

Malfean, the car was at a light, in gear and running. You think there was any doubt she was driving??? She probably stopped at the light and passed out. Luckily, she didn't harm anyone else... unless she really is pregnant. THEN she needs to be doubly punished!

Great idea...........zombies with beer goggles................

Zombies WERE people too. ;p

Can't believe somebody remembers Highway Patrol, damn, now I have to go to hulu as their on my list and want to watch them, Damn you rfrisch and Dan Matthews(Brodrick Crawford) and Thank You, still like watching the oldies.

Glad to see another fan. I think I'm giving away my age here but I used to watch Sea Hunt when it first came out, which was made by the same ZIV production company that did Highway Patrol. You know who Lloyd Bridges (star of Sea Hunt) sons are? One clue "The Fabulous Baker Brothers".

The article sounds like that was just part of the costume. There probably would have been more focus on it if she really was pregnant. If she is, then she needs to be locked up for the remainder of her pregnancy, and not get custody of the baby.

If she is pregnant, she has some horrible friends and family. I've never personally had a Halloween party alone and I am sure she was no different---so someone knew she was drinking pregnant and didn't stop her.

I'm thinking it was part of the costume...on the Walking Dead there is a pregnant character right now. Then there was Bella and Edward having a baby.

It was her Halloween costume Olde Yankee.

lol. There has been a fascination with zombies for sometime now. Adventureland---movie. The Walking Dead---comic book and TV show. Left 4 Dead---video game series. Even Call of Duty which is traditionally a war based shooter has included a zombie mode in most of their games. I'm missing a lot but the idea of zombies is part of popular culture. If you ever watch Discovery, both of their gun manufacturing shows have made guns specifically to face a zombie apocalypse. I have a lot of time on my hands while I heal an injury. lol.

My son wants a zombie apocalypse....

He don't get it when I explain that Romney voters is start of that....

Mmmm...no you don't....really....trust me on this.

All nighter perhaps?

My thoughts exactly. When innocent people are dying for no good reason, you never know what someone will do in a situation like that. She is lucky the person called police rather than something else.
