Woman allegedly drove on car rim with margarita in cup holder
Tequila makes her tires fall off!
Police say an Oklahoma driver was busted Sunday morning driving with a margarita in her cup holder — but no tire on a rim of her car.
Two officers pulled over Amy Ann Dillon, 28, after they heard the metal rim grinding on the asphalt from the approaching vehicle, according to the Tulsa Police Department.
“We could hear her coming from a block away,” police said in a social media post.
Dillon — who a breathalyzer later determined had a .21 blood-alcohol level — drove past the officers on the rim and was arrested after she turned into an apartment complex, authorities said.
When asked how much alcohol she had to drink, the woman — who police say “could barely stand upright” — told officers she had two shots of tequila.
The cops then discovered a full margarita in the cup holder of Dillon’s car.
Police said they believe she “wrecked her car on something” prior to the arrest and “assume she was driving on [the metal rim] for some time.”
Dillon was booked at David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, where she grinned for a mugshot.
She faces charges for DUI, operating a motorized vehicle with defective tires, transport of an open container, and driving without a license in possession.
More charges could be filed against Dillon if authorities discover she was involved in a collision.
Dillon works as a waitress to put herself through school, according to social media, where one of her patrons defended her.
“She’s been a server at restaurants my husband and I have frequented for years,” a local resident — identified as Brooke Nicole — commented on the police Facebook page. “She’s not a bad person, she made a mistake… I look forward to (hopefully) seeing her back at work soon and pursuing her education.”
