Stroller Pushing While Intoxicated
2009-04-19
A Tempe woman was arrested Tuesday after police said she was pushing her grandchild across the street in a stroller while intoxicated.

Police said Fannie Jumbo, 61, was crossing Apache Boulevard at Oak Street, with her infant grandchild in a stroller. Jumbo appeared to be under the influence of intoxicating liquor, the police report said.

Witnesses said Jumbo had fallen on different occasions while pushing the stroller due to her intoxicated state. Jumbo was transported to the Tempe city jail and could face charges of endangerment.

That is a tragic story about the Arissa family. I despise drunks.

#11  North Carolina has the 'Brew-Thru' at any number of locations. Drive in much as if you were getting your oil changed, and they'll load your car with the beverages of choice.

#10  Sorry GT, NM banned drive-throughs a couple of years back, after much opposition from the liquor lobby. One now has to stumble out of one's car to pick up more drink before getting on one's way to butchering another family in their car. Google 'Dana Pabst'.

#9  Virginia has drive-thru 'liquor & ammo' stores. This is clearly best, although the cup of ice IS a nice touch.

#8  This makes me a little bit uncomfortable. While Granny shouldn't be PWI (pushing while intoxicated), was Johnny better off at home with her and not strapped into a stroller? Next social service workers will be conducting Saturday night raids into homes to rescue the kids as their parents knock down one too many beers.

Don't know how I feel about this.

#6  If Grandma had a car to drive for a Drive-Thru Liquor run:

"gimme somma booze ashhoooole."

Liquor is SOOO important in places like Maryland, Louisiana, Arizona and Hawaii, and I think, New Mexico which all have drive thrus.
