Don’t Tell Me What to Do

Melissa Ezzell flagged down patrolling police officers in Shippensburg, Pa., to complain that someone was stopping her from doing what she wanted to do. And what was that? To drive home with her children — while she was intoxicated. Police administered a preliminary breath test, which showed Ezzell was over the legal limit. She wanted to drive home from a convenience store — where she had allegedly just driven with her children. Ezzell was arrested and faces charges of driving under the influence, driving while under the influence of a controlled substance, and endangering the welfare of children. (MS/Easton Express Times) ...The kids drove her to drink, so she drank to drive them.
