Police who chased a car for miles along a highway at speeds up to 100 mph said the driver was drunk, hardly a rarity in this resort town. But there was more: When they looked inside the flipped vehicle with guns drawn, they found an 11-year-old girl at the wheel.
“You go up there thinking it’s a felon you’re dealing with,” assistant police Chief Greg Duck said.
The girl, who was slightly injured in the crash, is now charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident. Duck said she sideswiped another vehicle during the roughly 8-mile chase.
Damn! An 11-year-old Boggs drinker cruising the highway after a few too many. Don’t see that everyday.

Nope. Don’t see this every day either. Unfortunate juxtaposition: 11-year-old’s DUI story and “HOORAY BEER!” ad

I never saw the “it’s a girl” angle coming. That makes the story about 10 times better. I want to know what this 11 year old was sipping on. Maybe some of Mom’s Smirnoff Ice?
I gotta know what an 11 year old girl is driving 100 miles an hour down the road for? Nevermind, it was probably 1:55am and she was trying to get more booze before the 7-11 stopped selling. I guess we’ve all been there before, who can blame the poor girl?
