The New York Daily News chips in on a local Florida woman who got in trouble after a night out.
23-year-old Lydia Kelm, a nurse, was arrested at a McDonald’s drive-through early Monday after causing a scene. She might also have been allergic to clothes as she was found clad only in a bra and underwear!
Ms. Kelm was at the McDonald’s drive-through in Leesburg, Florida at around 3:30 a.m., less then two miles from the police department. After placing her order, she began to rev her engine multiple times and was backing up in a one-way lane. Employees had to yell at her multiple times to pull forward to the window.
According to the arrest affidavit, Ms. Kelm :seemed to be confused, lethargic and had slurred speech”, all signs of impairment. The DUI suspect told the police when they arrived that she only had three drinks.
Officers had her perform field sobriety exercises after letting her borrow a coat to wear in the below 50-degree weather. As one might guess, she performed poorly.
She was arrested and taken to the police station where an alcohol reading of her breath was done. She was found to be over three times the legal limit of a .08!
The underwear-clad woman was booked into the Lake County jail and charged with driving under the influence.
